Protect your teeth with these pro tips for a healthy mouth from the Australian Dental Association.
- An unhealthy mouth can prove costly, painful, and decrease your quality of life.
- Keeping your mouth healthy means you can eat, speak, and smile without pain or embarrassment.
- Prevention is key because tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancers may not cause pain until they are well advanced.
- That’s why seeing a dentist regularly means your oral health issues can be detected early or prevented.
- Your dental and general health are closely related, so a healthy lifestyle can be key to your oral health.
- If you have a chronic illness, you may be more likely to have problems with your teeth and gums.
- Start a good habit early. Your child’s first dental visit should be once their first teeth appear or by the age of one.
- A dentist will create a treatment plan customised just for you and advise how often to have a check-up.
- And do not forget to brush twice each day and floss at least once.
- Don’t have a dentist? ‘Find a dentist’ at ada.org.au can help you.
