5 reasons to be true to your teeth or they will become false!

November 5, 2021

As a 45-year-old, Kritika was happy with her teeth as there were no visible teeth concerns or toothache. Regular brushing was enough for her and apart from uprooting two wisdom teeth, she never felt the need for regular dental visits. “Genetically we never had an issue in our family so I don’t see the need for a regular dentist” she would unequivocally mention to her friends and family. A couple of months later, at a family gathering, her cousin pointed out that her teeth seemed yellow and had plaque. Embarrassed to the core, she pursed her lips and refused to laugh aloud – her usual self-confidence lost in the yellow colour comment.

Unfortunately, this is true for many of us who keep dental health and well-being at the bottom of the health pyramid. Only when someone points out or there is discomfort, does the need to visit the dentist arises. That’s the time we either call our near and dear ones and rely on their experience to try the services of a dentist or search on google to identify a dentist based on ratings.

What we fail to understand is that dental health is a reflection of our good health and well-being. Our dental problems like cavities, gum diseases, bad breath can affect our overall confidence which further has a bearing on our overall mental and emotional health. Research has shown that an extra 30 years have been added to our life expectancy in less than a century. And therefore it becomes most important to take care of our overall health and well-being which includes dental health. So even if you brush your teeth daily and ensure healthy oral hygiene, a visit to your regular dentist is important and the need of the hour.
