Dentistry First Post
Years ago I thought dentists would be extinct due to improvements in dentistry and sealants. But this didn't happen. It actually amazes me about the way many people take care of their teeth and and the things we eat as a society. So many things in our daily are not healthy for out teeth. We get one set and thats it after our baby teeth. Babies start by sucking sugar filled fruit juice and go to be with a baby bottle filled with this. During the night the teeth get a bath in sugar setting them up for cavities and even gum disease. I read an article from Australia about the state of health of small children who are under the age of 6 with serious tooth decay. It was due to diet and lack of regular dental care.
As we grow older many of us do not think about daily maintenance of brushing and flossing. This habit only takes two minutes in the morning and two minutes in the evening and its still neglected. The diet of an average adult is not so healthy for our teeth either. Our food is fast and high in sugar and fats. Even rinsing our teeth after drinking acidic sodas and fruit juices isn't even thought of on a daily basis.
Its so easy to do daily care of our teeth and gums. Its so easy to avoid cavities and gum disease. Lets all take a few minutes do do daily oral care. Also taking a little time to plan out or daily diet so its healthy for our bodies and our teeth and gums.
Healthy teeth and gums usually means good breath, fewer cavities, and being less prone to gum disease. My opinion is its not being a good parent to neglect teaching our children good habits that take them through life including habits that give excellent dental health. This is my rant for the day. Have a great day:)!
