Why Is Your Oral Health Important?

As well as helping us to eat, smile and speak an effective oral health routine can improve your appearance, confidence and help you make a good first impression. It can also reduce the need for unplanned dental trips and absences from work.

However, poor oral health is not just about toothache. It has a much wider impact on general body health than you may be aware of. Recent research has found growing evidence linking the bacteria which cause tooth and gum problems to serious health conditions including heart disease, strokes and bowel cancer. Adopting a good oral health routine has therefore never been more important.
