If the holidays wrecked havoc with your waistline,
all of those goodies that you enjoyed for the past two months probably haven’t done
much good for your teeth either. You may think you are doing yourself a favor
by heading to the gym everyday starting tomorrow, but what about your teeth and gums.
Start the New Year off with a check up with your
Chicago Dentist, Dr. Romo. You may think you were extra cautious after those
rich meals by brushing a few extra times a day, but if you didn’t rinse after
enjoying Grandma Ester’s rich Christmas fudge you could be asking for trouble.
Schedule an appointment with Dr. Romo and get the all clear. Your teeth and
gums are directly connected to the rest of your body and if you do not practice
good oral hygiene, including regular checkups with your dentist,
your immune system could be affected.
Poor oral hygiene is responsible for all
kinds of health problems including respiratory issues and diabetes. Skipping
brushing and flossing in favor of the pillow may be tempting, but it could also
be the reason for your new cavities with the addition of periodontal disease.
Skipping your regular checkups is more harmful than you think.
Having healthy teeth and gums starts with
brushing and flossing. Buy a good toothbrush and don’t be afraid of the
electric ones. You can go online and buy a new electric toothbrush, or better
yet, ask Dr. Romo when you see him for your check-up. Don’t forget to floss
once a day and remember to brush in the morning and before you go to bed.
Call or schedule an appointment online with
your Dentist in Chicago and get a clean bill of health when it comes to your
teeth and gums. If there are issues, you will be ahead of the game and ready to
enjoy the foods that you did and a healthier smile before you got that tasty toothache.
