"If you
ignore your teeth they will
just go away! It's
true!!
How well do
you take care of your teeth?
Did you know that the human
mouth has more germs than a
dogs mouth? It is true
and you need to keep this in
mind when you brush and floss
your teeth.
If you have
an infection or open sore or
cut in your mouth, it's a
great way to introduce
bacteria to your whole body.
These bacteria can spread to
your heart and cause an
infection in your heart.
This is why
dentists want some people who
have heart conditions to take
antibiotics when they have
dental work. By keeping
your gums healthy with
flossing and brushing daily
you will keep your heart and
body healthy.
We need
this more than ever with a
possible busy flu season ahead
of us this fall. Something as
simple and brushing and
flossing can keep your immune
system and body healthy.
Seems so simple but yet so
hard to do for some people."
