These facts can help put
you on the right path to
good oral health and
avoiding dental problems.
1. Dental check ups include
oral cancer screenings
At your regular dental check
up, your dentist and hygienist
also check for any signs of oral
cancer. Oral cancer which affects
the mouth, lips or throat
is often curable if diagnosed
and treated in the early stages.
Regular check ups and avoiding
tobacco are the key factors in
preventing oral cancer.
2. Gum disease affects overall
health Gum disease is one
of the main causes of tooth loss
in adults and has been linked to
heart disease and strokes.
Gingivitis can be treated and
reversed if diagnosed early.
Without treatment, periodontitis,
which includes bone loss,
may follow. Brushing twice a
day, flossing daily, and getting
regular dental check ups and

cleanings are the best prevention
against gum disease.
3. Dental check ups are
important Regular check ups
and cleanings are important for
good oral health and can prevent
cavities, root canals, gum
disease, oral cancer, etc.
4. Keep cavities away Brushing
properly twice a day
removes plaque – the soft and
sticky substance that accumulates
on the teeth from food
debris and bacteria – that causes
cavities. Flossing daily removes
plaque from places between the
teeth that a toothbrush cannot
reach. Removing plaque helps
prevent gum disease.
5. Bad breath could signal
a dental problem About 85 per
cent of people with persistent bad
breath have a dental condition. In
such cases, mouthwash only
masks the odour, not cure it.
Flossing daily and brushing your
teeth and tongue twice a day can
greatly reduce and possibly eliminate
bad breath.
6. Proper nutrition is
important for dental health
The sugars from soft drinks
and non-nutritional foods
combine with the bacteria in
our mouths to produce acids
that attack tooth enamel. This
can lead to cavities and gum
disease. Limit beverages and
foods high in sugar to maintain
good dental health.
7. Dental problems need
to be treated If your dentist
gives you a treatment plan for
dental work that you need to
have done, follow it! As cavities
get bigger, they reach the nerve
in your tooth. The only
options then might be a root
canal or tooth extraction.
8. Root canal need not be
painful I can’t
tell you how
many times
I have heard
a patient say,
“Just pull the
tooth, root
canals are
horrible.”
With today’s
technology,

root canals can be as painless
as a filling.
9. Change toothbrushes
Manual toothbrushes wear out
after about three months. If
you have gum disease, you
should change your toothbrush
every four to six weeks because
bristles can harbour bacteria.
Always rinse your toothbrush
with hot water and change it
after you have been sick.
10. Maintaining good
dental health is easy Regular
dental check ups and cleanings,
brushing twice a day, flossing
daily... now, isn’t that easy?
