How Does Good Dental Health Impact Your Overall Health?

A healthy mouth helps keep the rest of your body healthy and in check. Most people don’t understand how interconnected the mouth is with the entire body. Studies have proven that inflammation in your mouth caused by periodontal disease can lead to an increased risk of heart disease.   Poor oral health can also affect brain health.  Bacteria from an infected tooth can enter the bloodstream causing sepsis.    

When Should You Schedule an Appointment?

We recommend visiting a dentist at least once a year for an exam and oral cancer screening.  Dental problems typically do not get better on their own, and they are easier to treat when caught at an early stage. Regular checkups ensure your mouth stays healthy, so you can keep on smiling!

The experienced staff at Smile Academy of Kentucky on Dixie is here for you. If you have any questions, please give us a call.  Schedule your next appointment, and then smile. It’s good to know that your dental needs are in excellent hands.

How Old Should a Child Be To Go To The Dentist?

There is no set age on when a child should see a dentist. We recommend that children be seen no later than age 3. 

Schedule an appointment with a dentist if you notice changes in your mouth or teeth.

Are your gums bleeding, swollen, or tender? Are they sensitive to hot, cold or sweets?  Are your teeth looser than usual? Do your dentures fit differently?  These could all be signs that you need dental treatment.
