About Oral Health

Hygiene is vital to maintaining your oral health, as well as your overall health and well-being. Oral health issues such as cavities, oral cancer, periodontal (gum) disease, and other issues can seriously negatively impact your health. 

Proper oral hygiene such as brushing and flossing, as well as regular check-ups and cleanings from your dentist, keeps bacteria from causing decay, infection, and gum disease. Failure to practice good oral hygiene results in more than bad breath or poor self-image; it can result in serious health issues or death in extreme cases. 

Brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings and check-ups with your dentist 1 to 2 times per year are not only crucial for your teeth but your overall health.
