Mouth Care is Health Care

Are you missing something in your search for health and wellness? So many people are consumed with avoiding toxins that may be in food, water or products they use. When disease causing toxins are within, hiding in your mouth.

gingivitis, inflammation

Inflammation in your mouth is called gingivitis. This is inflammation of the gums. Gingivitis occurs when there is organized bacteria on the teeth. These bacteria create toxins and acid. The gums become inflamed in a reaction to these toxins that’s what causes bleeding gums.  More than 75% of the population are affected by gingivitis. It can complicate or worsen other medical conditions. It also leads to periodontitis.  Periodontitis is a disease that results in bone loss around your teeth. That’s right not only are these toxins destroying bone they are destroying your health. You may not even know it’s happening! Eventually teeth may become loose and fall out.

Do your gums bleed? Did you know that this means that you have oral disease that requires treatment!  Inflammation should never be ignored. In fact it contributes to systemic health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer and more. Bleeding gums are never normal or healthy. Even if you don’t notice bleeding or swelling you may have oral disease. Oral disease limits your ability to be healthy!  A visit to Embrace Dental Hygiene for an assessment and teeth cleaning is like your health insurance.
