According to the dentists at Evesham Dental Health Team in Broadway Road, our teeth can have a huge effect on our mental and physical health.
Just consider how often that sensitive tooth plays up during a single day (i.e every time you sip a hot or cold drink) or that wobbly bridge or denture prevents you from eating a particular food.
If we can’t eat properly, we can’t look after ourselves as well as we could and over time this will affect how we feel.
We very often take our teeth for granted. But think about all the things they do for us and how debilitating it is when we are in pain, not able to eat properly or lacking in confidence socially.
These things not only affect our ability to look after ourselves properly but also how we cope in community and social environments.
If you are struggling to eat, chew, smile and socialise because an uncomfortable, troublesome mouth is occupying your mind, now is a good time to put yourself first.
I solemnly swear…
As parents, we constantly berate our children and teenagers for not brushing their teeth frequently enough but as adults, can we solemnly swear that we listen to and take up the advice of our dentists and hygienists in terms of home care, the tools we use and the frequency of our visits?
Teeth impact us mentally and physically and considering the consequences of losing them, do we really pay them proper attention?
Diaries at the ready
We are urging new patients from Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire to give their teeth an MOT by booking a dental and hygiene examination for early 2018. Please contact us for more information.
