Why Our Pearly Whites Are so Precious
Forget diamonds. We believe that our teeth are the most precious gems we will each ever own! Did you know that once lost, our pearly whites are lost for good because they do not regenerate? Happily—thanks to the wonders of modern cosmetic dentistry—issues such as stained, chipped, broken, or missing teeth no longer mean that the perfect healthy smile is out of reach.
That said, even with the knowledge that tooth damage can be repaired, it is vital to be aware that mastering tooth care is a must if we wish to safeguard our smile, whether it's a new edition or a classic original! What's more, while we all want to keep dental decay and gum disease at bay, prioritizing oral care isn't only a ticket for a healthy smile. Ensuring our mouth remains a happy place is also key for maintaining a healthy body, and research suggests it can even help us live longer!
Beauty Begins With A Healthy Smile
A healthy smile is a multi-faceted asset indeed. The first dental duty we imagine when we think of our teeth may be to bite into and chew our food. However, did you know that your teeth also allow you to speak with clear annunciation, or that they help to create the distinctive shape of the face that makes you, well, you? Our beautiful smiles also allow us to communicate without words. The confidence that comes with a healthy smile can work magic as we navigate both personal connections and our careers.
Being ever-ready to beam at those around you brings with it a host of other surprising rewards. It turns out that the simple act of smiling triggers a bountiful release of feel-good neurotransmitters—such as endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. These friendly brain chemicals can aid us in keeping stress in check, and even ward off depression. Better yet, when we smile, the people around us experience a boost too. Fascinatingly, studies have revealed that sharing our positive emotions can help us maintain stronger relationships. It would seem that laughter truly is the best medicine!
How the Mouth Relates to the Total Body
Speaking of medicine, there is so much more to discover when it comes to the connection between healthy teeth and a healthy self. Did you know that neglected smiles can leave us more vulnerable to serious health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and strokes? This is because unhealthy gums can allow bacteria from our mouths to move into our bloodstream, triggering troublesome inflammation and other problems throughout the body.
Research has also revealed that practicing fantastic oral care can help to ward off certain cancers, diabetes, and even dementia. Studies also show that showing off a stellar smile directly boosts our immunity, helping us stay healthier overall. For pregnant women, healthy gums and teeth are particularly important for reducing the risk of premature birth or low birth weight, as well as for tip-top post-natal health-status. As we like to say here at Mouth Mechanics, the gateway to a healthy life begins with a healthy smile!
Helping You Discover the Nuts and Bolts of Dentistry
For just about everyone, brushing our teeth daily is something that we do on autopilot, because we should rather than because it's fun! While dental care might not be the most glamorous thing in the world, it seems fair to say that nothing is more glamorous or radiant than a healthy smile.
With that in mind, we are here to make your oral care journey both entertaining and dynamic. Join us for easy-to-follow tips, fun-packed contests, and smile-centric prizes. Armed with accessible knowledge on how to avoid losses and how to improve the look and feel of our teeth, we believe that everyone can have a winning smile—one that helps us shine both inside and out.
