Dental Health Can Impact Fertility

If you are a woman who wants to have a baby, then you should make your dental health a priority. A recent study conducted in Sweden links fertility and the health of a woman's gums and teeth. Roger Hart, a professor at the University of Western Australia in Perth, told the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Stockholm, that the effect of gum disease on conception is about the same order of magnitude as the effect of obesity.

Professor Roger Hart of the University of Western Australia in Perth, told the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Stockholm, that the effect of gum disease on conception is about the same order of magnitude as the effect of obesity.

Their study was the first to be published that investigatesd the connection between gum disease and women's chances of getting pregnant. He says women who want to become pregnant should visit their dentist and brush their teeth regularly. Hart and his colleagues analyzed data on over 3,400 pregnant women from Western Australia who were taking part in a study called SMILE. The study focused on how treatment for gum disease affects pregnancy outcomes.

They found that women with gum disease took on average two months longer to become pregnant than women without gum disease (seven months instead of five). So if you want to add a little bundle of joy to your family, be sure to take good care of your teeth and gums and see a dentist regulary.

Dental Care For Tiny Teeth

A youngster's tiny teeth will inevitably fall out in later years as their permanent teeth grow in. But for many kids, particularly those from low-income households, cavities and poor oral health lead to complicated dental problems long before they even leave their cribs.

Fortunately the future may be brighter for our disadvantaged toddlers due to a $293,000 grant for the National Institutes of Health Programs. The funds have been allocated to incorporate tooth decay prevention as part of a child's regular checkup with the doctor, and this could be a giant step toward improving infants' and toddlers' dental health for children in the Medicaid program.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend children visit the dentist for the first time by age 1, but for so many kids that is simply not a reality. If you have young toddlers, please be sure they see a dentist regularly and care for their tiny teeth.

Dentures

There are different types of dentures, but they share their common function. They replace teeth that have become loose or been lost due to bone loss. When bone loss around the roots of teeth is great enough to loosen them or let them fall out, it's time for dentures. Relax. No one enjoys losing their natural teeth, but you can still eat and talk regularly.

The entire mouth is examined and a determination is made as to which teeth will have to be removed, and which will remain. The loose teeth are then extracted. Dentures are fitted to go over or around whatever teeth remain in the mouth, depending on the type. There is an adjustment period after dentures are placed in the mouth, and it can take some getting used to. But once accustomed to the dentures, all the normal functionality and appearance return and one just carries on as usual. Often implants can used to further stabilize the dentures.

A Little Flossing A Day Can...

Why is daily flossing so important? Most of us don't want the bother or the stares, so we just don't floss regulary. But there are important reasons that we should...

1. To prevent tooth decay

Dental plaque can cause cavities if it’s left between teeth. To remove this stuburn plaque flossing is necessary.

2. To prevent gum disease

Gingivitis (inflammation of gums) is the first stage of gum disease (periodontal disease). It is caused by an accumulation of plaque around gums and between teeth. Flossing is therefore important to remove all plaque accumulated after a meal.

3. To prevent halitosis

Everyone hates bad breath. Dental plaque is one of the causes of halitosis, and if it’s left between your teeth, it will generate a bad smell in your mouth. Flossing can be a big help with fresh breath.

4. To prevent tartar build-up

Tartar is dental plaque that has become hard from the saliva’s calcifying action. Good oral hygiene measures, which include brushing and flossing, can slow down the accumulation of tartar.

5. To reduce the risk of heart disease

The mouth is an entrway for harmful bacteria. These bacteria may eventually reach the body organs, including cardiac tissue. Good dental health, including flossing regulary is directly related to bettering your overall health.
