Tooth Decay

Tooth decay occurs when acid attacks the surface of the tooth. Fluoride helps repair any damage before it becomes serious. A constant low-level supply of fluoride is best for this. Fluoride in your drinking water and toothpaste is like a constant 'repair kit' for your teeth.
Dental decay affects the community in many ways, including pain, suffering and cost.

Periodontal Disease – Gum Disease and Bleeding Gums

Inflammation of the gums is a concern. Bleeding gums are not normal. Bleeding gums are a sign that the gums are inflamed. Certain Bacteria in dental plaque cause inflammation of the gums.

These bacteria cause two concerns to the mouth:

Gingivitis: redness and swelling of the gums; bleeding may be seen when you brush or floss your teeth. Sometimes, the gums just look very red. Gingivitis can be healed quite quickly with professional cleaning and good home dental care.
Periodontitis: Starts off with redness, swelling, and bleeding when brushing or flossing. Unfortunately, if you have the susceptible bacteria in your dental plaque to cause periodontitis, the body will respond with a more serve response. This gum infection damages the soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone that supports your teeth. Periodontitis can cause teeth to loosen or lead to tooth loss. Professional cleaning and good home dental care will prevent periodontal disease from advancing. It is a disease that needs to be treated for a lifetime.

Does a healthy mouth equal a healthy heart? The indications appear to be yes! Doctors and researchers have been talking about and studying the relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease for nearly two decades. While the exact details of the cause-and-effect relationship are still under investigation, many researchers (including Dr P.K. Shah) and government agencies have come to the conclusion there is a link between periodontal disease and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. For this reason, maintaining optimal oral hygiene is an important component of not only heart health but your overall health and well-being.
