DENTAL HEALTH IN BARRIE

Did you know that general dentistry and the health of your entire body are inextricably linked? Dental health is essential for more than just beautiful teeth and healthy gums. It’s also essential for helping maintain general health.

Dental Health and Systemic Health

Dental health issues such as gum disease, missing teeth, and even tooth decay have been linked to systemic health issues including:

• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Respiratory issues
• Pregnancy complications

New research is even being done on the link between poor oral hygiene and memory loss, and dementia as well.

With evidence pointing to the dangers of poor dental health, visiting Barrie dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick for biannual dental hygiene and teeth cleaning appointments becomes all the more important. During these visits your teeth will be professionally cleaned and your mouth examined for potential issues, enabling Dr. Chapnick to treat them before they become serious health problems.

Your Role in Dental Health

While it is very important for your dental health that you visit our office every six months for professional services, your role in dental health requires daily vigilance. Make sure you brush your teeth after every meal and snack and floss at least once a day. Taking these simple steps in between visits can help keep your teeth, gums, and entire body healthy.

If you live in or around Barrie, Ontario and would like more information on maintaining dental health, please contact Chapnick Dental Office to schedule an appointment today.
