Dental Disease, Physical Health and Prevention

Did you know that 99% of dental disease is preventable? Results from many universities and research institutions is proving the connection of better dental health means better whole body health. Prevention is the biggest part of good dental health. If you already have dental problems prevention is still a critical factor in the correction of those problems and the prevention of future dental disease. You can improve your dental health as well as whole body health.

So, just how do you "prevent" dental disease? You say you brush daily, floss sometimes, but still have problems. The single biggest factor is to use one of the newer electric brushes, not the cheap ones. If you prevent one filling the brush has paid for itself! My favorite is the Oral B Braun due to the shape of the head. It has a slight curve to the bristles, just like your teeth. It also has a small head about the size of a tooth. It is a natural fit. The brush does all the work. You simply move it from tooth to tooth, front and back. Great teeth provide enjoyable eating, better tasting food and a smile you will be proud of. Digestion starts in the mouth and means your stomach will be happier because it won't have to work so hard on big pieces of unchewed food which it can't digest properly.
