At The Dental Hygienist we have a passion for oral health and have long been promoting the importance of prevention. Prevention plays a crucial role in gaining and maintaining the best oral health possible and also lessens the risks with systemic health issues related to gum disease.
Gum disease has been linked to increasing the risks of health issues such as diabetes, low birth weights, premature birth, oral cancer, heart disease and stroke. If you are pregnant or already at risk of these adverse health conditions then it is even more important for you to visit to minimise your risk. Keeping your mouth healthy is just a small step in looking after your whole body.
