Dental Hygiene Is Like Preventative Maintenance For Your Mouth And Gums

Preventative maintenance is a huge part of making sure that things in our lives continue to work the way they should. For example, cars need maintenance such as oil change and tire rotation to function effectively over time.

Computers also need preventative maintenance, using things like disk defragmentation tools and antivirus software to ensure that they continue to perform according to their specifications over time.

Of course, the human body is much more complex than any of these machines. Although the health of your teeth and gums is relatively easy to maintain, don’t forget that your mouth is connected to the health of every other part of your body.

For example, scientists are coming to realize that the nerve damage that could result from having to remove damaged teeth prematurely may have negative impacts on the nervous system overall, including the brain.

All in all, it takes about twenty to thirty minutes each day to perform the kind of maintenance tasks you need for a healthy mouth: Brushing and flossing. When all is said and done, though, the protection you get again infection, discomfort, and far more serious conditions is worth it.

Just like getting a few minutes of exercise every day, brushing strengthens your body.
