THE TONGUE ACCUMULATES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BACTERIA, YEAST & DEAD CELLS
A COATED TONGUE IS A RESERVOIR OF UNWANTED PATHOGENS THAT CAUSE GUM DISEASE
TONGUE BUILD-UP CAUSES BAD BREATH DUE TO DEAD CELLS, MICROBES & TOXINS
USE A TONGUE SCRAPER OR EDGE OF A SPOON TO WIPE OFF & CLEAN THE TOP SURFACE DAILY
REACH TO SCRAPE OFF THE BUIL-UP PLAQUE AS FAR BACK AS YOU CAN
PREVENTION IS KEY >>> GOOD PLAQUE CONTROL REDUCES THE RISK OF DEVELOPING GUM "PERIODONTAL" DISEASE & BONE LOSS
ORAL IRRIGATORS (Waterpik) AID in CLEANING BY REMOVING ACCUMULATED PLAQUE
UNDER THE GUM LINE, CONTACT SPACES & BETWEEN TEETH, IMPLANTS & BRIDGES.

PERIODONTAL & PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
Periodontal (Gum) disease is an infectious disease and a significant cause of tooth loss in humans all over the world. It affects the gums and the supporting tissues of your teeth, such as, the jawbone and periodontal ligament. There is a growing body of scientific evidence suggesting that the infection of your gums and jawbone (periodontal disease) can negatively impact other parts of your body, such as, your heart, lungs, kidneys, joints, brain,... Recent research suggests a link between gum disease & cardiovascular disease, stroke, acute coronary syndrome, cerebrovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease, diabetes, arthritis, respiratory diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), osteoporosis, adverse pregnancy outcomes (preterm birth & low birth weight), cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, erectile dysfunction... Treating and, more importantly, preventing gum disease will reduce the risks of infections and associated systemic conditions. Healthy gums can lead to a healthier life. "Love the gums you are with"
PROXY-BRUSHES ARE EFFECTIVE AT CLEANING UNDER CONTACT SPACES OF TEETH & IMPLANTS & BRIDGES
COMBINE ELECTRIC BRUSHES, PROXYBRUSHES & ORAL IRRIGATORS
TO IMPROVE PLAQUE CONTROL & MAINTENANCE OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
POOR ORAL HYGIENE CAN LEAD TO SEVERE GUM DISEASE, BONE & TOOTH LOSS
