However, she understands that the best way to be healthy is to prevent issues from occurring in the first place.
Nutrition for healthy mouths and bodies
Many patients believe they eat healthy, however, vegetables have less than half of the vitamins and minerals that they did half a century ago, and multiple studies have shown a significant decline in the nutritional value of food. These vitamins not only provide valuable benefits to the body, they help strengthen the teeth as well.
Stress and your oral health
Some individuals under stress find themselves grinding or clenching their teeth. This can be a hard habit to break as patients often aren’t aware that they’re doing it or may even grind their teeth while sleeping. Unfortunately, these activities can lead to excessive wear on the teeth and risk of fractures or damage. It’s also been linked to TMJ, a painful dysfunction of the jaw joint that causes head and facial pain.
Dental care to improve wellness
A healthy mouth and a healthy body go together. Often, certain lifestyle changes can have big benefits for oral and overall health. Dr. Hart recommends that her patients consider the following:
- Remove metal from your mouth. Studies have shown that mercury, which is found in metal fillings, is linked to certain health conditions.
- Find healthy ways to relieve stress
- Choose a diet that is full of fruits and vegetables instead of one made up of sugar and processed ingredients.
