World Oral Health Day on the 20th March

This day promotes Oral Health and serves to Celebrate the benefits that are involved with having good oral hygiene. This day reaches out to all: old, young, rich, poor and whichever race or religion you are. Poor oral health and oral disease is a global problem.
It is reported that 90% of people will suffer from some kind of oral health disease within their lifetime. Most of this can be prevented by early detection, screening, good oral health.
The WOHD website states that it is a day to do the activities that make you laugh sing and smile and We are not ones to disagree with tradition!!
Why not book in a check up or clean with your dentist today and celebrate with us?

There has  also been a lot of publicity recently on how oral health can effect your general health.  The British Dental Health Foundation has recently published this image. 

 

They suggest problems could arise or made worse by poor dental health. The examples are heart disease, strokes, diabetes, giving birth to premature babies and lung disease, which is generally quite a frightening thought. They suggest these three simple methods to keeping your mouth healthy in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

• Brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste
• Cut down on how often you have sugary foods and drinks
• Visit the dentist regularly, as often as they recommend
