Keep Bacteria Under Control
The primary enemy of healthy teeth and gums are oral bacteria, as they are the leading cause of cavities, gum disease and tooth loss. These microorganisms are always present in your mouth; however, they are most active after you consume a meal or drink a beverage (other than water). Thus, to keep them at bay, it’s a must to practice consistent and excellent oral hygiene.

Whether you are 80 or 8, your oral health is important. Most Americans today enjoy excellent oral health and are keeping their natural teeth throughout their lives; however, cavities remain the most prevalent chronic disease of childhood. Some 100 million Americans fail to see a dentist each year, even though regular dental examinations and good oral hygiene can prevent most dental disease. Many people believe that they need to see a dentist only if they are in pain or think something is wrong, but regular dental visits can contribute to a lifetime of good oral health. If you are experiencing dental pain, don't put off seeing a dentist. With dentistry's many advances, diagnosis and treatment are more sophisticated and comfortable than ever.
