Good Dental Hygiene Improves Health

We were not aware of this buy good dental hygiene can improve a person's overall health, at least according to information provided by a Calgary dentist.

It seems that healthy teeth, gums and jaw joints has a positive affect on the rest of the body; just as a healthy body is a good influence on the condition of your mouth.

Recent research indicates that women with gum disease are up to seven times more likely to deliver premature babies than women with healthy gums. In addition, unhealthy gums can contribute to heart disease and strokes when the bacteria from infections enter the circulatory system.

This same gum disease can be a major cause of bad breath. Makes sense when you think about it, but who likes to think of halitosis?

Good dental health can also alleviate TMJ, lower back pain and headaches.

Who'd a thunk it?
