If you have thought that your mouth has nothing to do with your general health; you may need to think again. Widespread research is linking oral disease with chronic illness and evidence suggests people with gum disease (periodontitis) are more susceptible to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, premature births, under weight babies and infertility.
You may think that you don’t have gum disease? How do you know for sure? You can tell if you have problems with your eyes because you start holding the paper at arms length or can’t read a sign before your kids. Gum disease is painless and generally the only symptom may be occasional bleeding on brushing or eating. Another more embarrassing symptom is bad breath or halitosis – the problem with this is most people won’t tell you for fear of embarrassing you or upsetting you – personal hygiene issues are always difficult to discuss.
For a disease that can be treated it is a shame it goes undiagnosed in so many people for the lack of a simple dental assessment. Here at Smile Style we have 3 hygienists. These dental professionals are specialised in treating gum disease and then helping you stay healthy. The preventative care offered by Smile Style has been highly commended by the British Dental Association. Don’t compromise when it comes to your dental health we all need a hygienist’s help. Why not take advantage of our half price assessment offer and get checked out.

Do you expect your teeth to last a life time? They should, yet so many people do not practice good oral hygiene and neglect their dental health - tooth brushing is not enough to stay healthy and research is suggesting poor oral health is killing you and not just damaging your smile.
