3 reasons why having a healthy mouth is a good investment
1. Bad Teeth Affects Concentration.
If you're at work, grinding in front of the computer, when an all-too-familiar pain shoots up in your gums. The culprit? Cavities and bad teeth. Cavities cause a severe pain that affects your concentration and makes it feel like your whole mouth is on fire. Forget about trying to finish work - all that's on your mind is to have your bad teeth pulled out this instant, or to bang your head on the nearest surface unitl the pain goes away.
2. Healthier Teeth Equates to Fresher Breath.
Too much plaque on your teeth can cause toxins to form in the mouth which then irritates the gums. This can result in foul breath, or even periodontal disease, leading to major teeth loss. All this could've been prevented through meticulous teeth care and the use of a good mouthrinse.
3. A Clean Mouth is An Indicator of Overall Health
A good set of teeth can reduce your risk of stroke. Researchers in Japan found that people with fewer than 24 teeth ( should have been 32 ) are 60 percent more likely to suffer a stroke. This is because gum disease - associated with tooth loss - is also responsible for the narrowing of the artery walls. Other researches have shown that gum disease is linked with heart disease - even more reason to brush your teeth.
