Teeth – how important are they?
Teeth help us to chew, swallow, talk and much more. They shape our smile and impact our physical and mental health.
And given the price of dental treatment, healthy teeth are a plus for your well-being and your wallet alike. Ignoring pain or delaying treatment of diseased teeth puts your health at risk. Left untreated, inflammation in the oral cavity can spread throughout your body via the bloodstream. This increases the risk of heart problems. And an unhealthy tooth can trigger ailments elsewhere in the body and affect the health of our joints and organs.
Jaw misalignment also has an impact on your body. The masticatory system is connected to the entire body via nerves and muscles. Undue stress on the jaw muscles or jaw joints can trigger tension in the back and neck, as well as headaches. Some people develop dizziness, earache and even tinnitus. Finally, failure to correct misaligned teeth can lead to irreversible loss of tooth structure.
There’s lots you can do for the health of your teeth. Brush them regularly and thoroughly. Get dental check-ups. If misaligned teeth run in your family, it is worth taking out dental insurance as early as possible. Dental insurance contributes towards the costs of treatment such as braces and other, generally expensive, interventions.
