The Importance of Maintaining Dental Health
Oral and dental health is an important part of overall health. Healthy teeth not only make a smile more beautiful, but also play a role in digestion, speech, and maintaining facial structure. Unfortunately, many people still ignore dental care, which can cause various problems such as cavities, gum infections, and even systemic diseases due to bacterial infections from the mouth.
Poor dental health can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory disorders due to the spread of bacteria from the mouth to other organs of the body. Therefore, maintaining dental hygiene and health is not only aesthetic, but also important for overall health.
Bad Impacts of Not Maintaining Dental Health If dental health is ignored, various serious problems can occur, such as:
1. Cavities (Dental Caries) - Caused by bacteria that convert food residue into acid and damage tooth enamel.
2. Gum Disease (Gingivitis and Periodontitis) - Untreated gum infections can cause teeth to loosen and fall out.
3. Bad Breath (Halitosis) - Can be a sign of tooth or gum infection.
4. Infection Spreads to Other Organs – Bacteria from tooth infections can enter the bloodstream and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
How to Maintain Good Dental Health To keep your teeth healthy, the following steps need to be implemented:
✅ Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
✅ Use dental floss to clean between your teeth.
✅ Reduce consumption of sweet and sour foods that can damage your teeth.
✅ Routinely check your teeth with a dentist at least once every 6 months.
