Dental wellness is an important contributor to your overall health and wellbeing. It can have an effect on your ability to eat the foods you want, speak clearly, and even sleep at night. It can also have an effect on your self-esteem, the way you interact with others socially, and your ability to enjoy life to the fullest.
The impact is even greater on infants and children. Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and can occur as soon as a child’s first tooth breaks through the skin. Tooth decay can affect a child’s physical growth (through poor eating habits), speaking, playing and learning. It can also cause significant pain, loss of school days, and may lead to infections or even death. Making sure your child sees the dentist early and regularly can do wonders for his or her health and happiness.
Dental wellness has also been shown to have a direct effect on the mother and baby during pregnancy as well as people with certain chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
