Bodily Health through Dental Hygiene in the City of Leeds

Tuesday, July 9th, 2013

585983_blogYour whole body is a beautiful machine where everything in it works in perfect harmony to keep you healthy- as long as you don’t abuse it, but ensure you give it the work-out and nourishment it needs: this coalition between all the organs is a wonderful thing. This is also true between your dental hygiene and your body as a whole. Your mouth is the gateway to the inside of you so you should ensure you keep it healthy at all times: always optimise and change your oral hygiene as often as you can and ensure you keep up with regular dental check-ups, just in case you may have missed something along the way; having a strong diet and avoiding nasty habits can also promote your oral health too. There is a very good reason for doing all of this: problems can spiral out of control very quickly if you aren’t in control of it all, and aside from tooth decay and then loss following, gum disease is an even more dangerous threat to the health of your body, as the toxins from it poisons your heart and other vital organs in your body- causing them to fail. If you ensure that you have a wonderful balance between mouth and body, then you should have a wonderful and healthy life in the city of Leeds.

A day out at the Dentists in Leeds

Wednesday, December 19th, 2012

It probably isn’t everyone’s idea of a good day out in Leeds, but going to see your dentist is certainly an important one. You can buy all the best products you want and use them as efficiently as you can, but it is always great to get peace of mind by getting a check-up, for if you’re completely free of problems, it rather endorses the fact that you are doing the right things at home and so you can give yourself a pat on the back. Of course, there’s more to a check-up than self gratification: your dentist still has to give you the full once over. You will first be x-rayed from which the dentist spot any tooth decay or gum recession and if needed, get to work on patching you up straight away with a filling or a root canal and advise you on dealing with gum disease: at least once a year, it is beneficial to have a deep clean in and around your gums. Once the dentist has prodded you and checked you out, then your teeth will be cleaned to remove any build-up of tartar, polished and then send you on your way. Of course, this is the time you should embrace and query your dentist about any problems you may have or things of a cosmetic nature that you are thinking of- it is a time for putting your mind at rest on everything dental…..maybe it’s not such a bad day out after all!!

If they are serious, then you may well be referred to specialists in order to sort the issue out. But aside from the basics offered to you by your dentist at a check-up, it gives a great opportunity to discuss all manner of issues that may be concerning you, from oral hygiene to cosmetic dentistry, which why you should keep up with your visits and see your dentist as a friend and not, as in some cases, an enemy. Remember, in the time it takes to miss one appointment, things can get out of control in your mouth very quickly that can threaten the whole status-quo of your oral health and in the long term, you could be looking at some hefty bills in order to correct them.

Gum Disease is Rife in the City of Leeds

Saturday, June 23rd, 2012

If you like a good horror story in the city of Leeds, the you should take a look at how much damage gum disease can do to your mouth and body because it truly is horrible. This disease is caused firstly by poor oral hygiene which allows plaque and tartar to form in the mouth around the base of the teeth where the gums meet. Once this happens, the gums become infected; this can lead to tooth decay and between them, bring on periodontal disease that will eat away at the bone structure below the teeth. This is the point at which your teeth will start to fall out as the gums recede. Now this is bad enough, but whilst all this is going on, the gum disease will be leaking toxins into the blood and into the heart that in time will fail, along with other vital organs. Is that enough horror for you? The point is, if you have any signs of blood after brushing, you are starting to have problems and they need to be addressed immediately. Your dentist can rectify this by deep cleaning your teeth and gums and you may be able to stop the disease by upping your oral hygiene and also incorporate herbal remedies into your program. But, you must also take a good look at your lifestyle and diet as well to give yourself a chance.

Mouth Ulcers Attack in Leeds!

Thursday, June 7th, 2012

Anyone who has had a mouth ulcer in Leeds will know just how irritating they can make your life for a while- they can be quite vicious and uncomfortable. It is also quite difficult to pinpoint what causes them as well. Most dentists will take the usual line that affects most conditions in the mouth and these are generally true; viral fungal, and bacterial conditions, allergies but most attributed are stress, weak immune system and diet. Yes, these can be addressed and dealt with later, but all anyone wants to know is how to get rid of them when they erupt. Your lifestyle will have to alter for the duration and consider the above issues, you should avoid smoking, drinking and ‘hot’ foods, but do get yourself to the dentists or doctors for some drugs. Relief through painkillers like Ibruprofen will most certainly help, but there are also some fantastic mouth rinses and gels such as Bonjella that are specifically designed to give immediate relief and they work fast. Ulcers also have the ability to re-offend, but once bitten- twice prepared so you should be okay, though you do need to sit down and address all of the issues that may have caused the ulcer in the first place. There is also a more sinister issue with ulcers; if they are consistently persistent and refuse to go away after a few weeks, once you have attacked them, you should seek medical advice immediately, for it can indicate oral cancer.
