With the world wearing masks due to COVID-19, your smile may be the last thing on your mind. But this is the perfect time to learn about the benefits of a healthy and confident smile. The best part is that no matter what orthodontic treatment you select, no one will know you’re wearing braces under your mask!
The Benefits of a Healthy and Confident Smile
Although having a healthy smile may seem like a lot of work with few benefits, that assumption is completely wrong. The simple act of daily brushing and flossing and a good oral healthcare routine has many benefits. First and foremost, our teeth are instrumental in chewing food. Healthy teeth chew more efficiently, which aids digestion. In fact, good oral health can help you achieve life-changing benefits.
Among the most common benefits of a good oral health routine are:
- Less tooth decay and gum disease (which means less pain, less tooth loss, and other benefits)
- Keeps oral bacteria from entering the bloodstream and causing health problems
- Reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes
- Can aid in reducing the risk of some cancers
- May reduce the risk of dementia (especially in women)
- Less risk of halitosis (bad breath)
By maintaining a healthy smile, you create a confident mindset, which can influence your career, social life, and even relationships. By transforming your smile, you will feel more confident in all areas of your life. Additionally, maintaining a healthy mouth will increase whole-body health.
