Taking care of your teeth and gums is a big part of maintaining a beautiful smile. Here at Manchester Unity Dental Centre, we are here to help you develop good habits to achieve and maintain a healthy mouth.
The common problems of gum disease and dental decay will lead to problems such as pain, discomfort, bad breath, disfigurement, loss of teeth, difficulty chewing and speaking. Regular visits with us to firstly treat disease, followed by a maintenance program with the aim of disease prevention and early intervention, are designed so our patients enjoy the peace of mind of a healthy mouth.
Importantly also, good oral health not only makes a big impact on your general wellbeing but is directly linked to general health. Gum disease and dental infections are linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory disease, kidney disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and even cancer. Risk factors for oral disease are shared with many chronic major diseases so management of oral disease will often help to improve other health issues. At the same time, problems with general health also can negatively impact oral health. A healthy body begins with a healthy mouth!
