10 Reasons To Smile

• 1. To Have a bright and white smile. A friendly smile is the best form of communication.
• 2. To prevent gum disease. Gum infection result when germs over grow and over power the body's defense system resulting in tooth loss.
• 3. To keep your teeth. Although most tooth loss after age 35 is from gum disease decay is still a problem with increasing age as the root of the tooth is exposed to the mouth fluids. Remembering the root of the tooth does not have the hard enamel to protect the teeth like the crown, top of the tooth.
• 4. To prevent oral cancer. We always check for oral cancer every dental visit. If detected and treated early oral cancer is very curable.
• 5. To maintain good overall health. Most recent studies show connection between infected gums and heart attack, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimers's and other major medical problems are being added to the list daily.
• 6. To detect dental problems early. Early detection means less pain, less cost and longer lasting and stronger result.
• 7. To maintain good oral health. To have a healthy smile and good smelling breath.
• 8. To use your dental insurance. (actually benefit) plan while you still have unused benefits. Every year dental plans raise co-payments and reduce services covered....but still seem to be able to justify raising the premiums.
• 9. To have a plan. Would you think of building a house without a plan? Yet many people just have dental visits when they have a problem.
• 10. Just cleaned teeth feel soooo good!
