Study on Poor Oral Hygiene Habits of Aging Population Underlines the Importance of Outstanding Dental Care, says Premier Care Dental Group
PASADENA, Calif. (PRWEB) May 23, 2018 -- A May 14 article on Science Daily suggests that the increase in poor oral health among aging individuals, often due to cognitive impairments and poor diet, is a problem that needs to be addressed. The article goes on to mention that an emphasis on proper dental care at every stage of life can provide a number of benefits in the overall health and well-being of individuals. Pasadena based Premier Care Dental Group says that, along with brushing teeth twice a day, regular dental visits play a vital part in maintaining outstanding oral health throughout an individual’s lifetime, thus reducing the risk of health complications in the future.
Premier Care Dental Group says that, while most individuals are educated about the importance of regular daily brushing and flossing habits at a young age, it’s just as important, if not more, to continue those daily habits well into the later stages of life. The clinic goes on to note that removing plaque and tarter buildup during yearly cleanings at the dentist’s office can keep numerous periodontal problems, such as gingivitis, at bay. Periodontal issues in particular have been linked with systemic health problems such as diabetes, not to mention the loss of teeth and many very unpleasant symptoms
The dental clinic mentions that good daily oral hygiene habits not only significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, but it also improves the overall quality of life. As patients age, having strong and healthy teeth can make it easier to maintain a healthy and varied diet. It can also reduce the risks of heart complications often associated with the spreading of bacteria in the mouth to the blood stream.
Premier Care Dental Group goes on to mention that, taking the proper steps towards practicing good daily oral hygiene habits and maintaining regular dental visits not only keeps teeth and gums healthy, it improves the overall quality of life for patients well into the late stages of life. Oral health care is every bit as important as any other area of medicine, says the clinic.
