You may put off going to the dentist for lots of reasons, but putting off this simple appointment could cause damage to your overall health.

Brushing two times a day and flossing regularly are just the first step in your dental health care. Keeping your semi- annual checkup and cleaning appointments with the dentist are imperative to make sure that the state of your oral health is stable.

Poor dental health can not only cause some costly dental treatments, but can also affect the rest of your body. Heart disease, mouth cancer, diabetes, gum disease, tooth loss, bad breath dental decay, lung conditions and strokes are just some of the problems that are associated with neglecting your oral health.

Start the New Year off right! Make an appointment with your dentist, make sure you are doing everything you can to stay healthy.
