Smile Big: Three Components to a Healthy Mouth

Just because a person has beautiful, straight, white teeth, doesn’t mean their mouth is a picture of health. There are several components people should address if they wish to have the healthiest smile possible and ward off potential health problems as they age. The mouth is tremendously important, as it is a key element of delivering nutrition to the rest of the body. It is a key component of delivering affection to others, and is the avenue through which we communicate. It’s important to stay current with dentist appointments and invest in having the healthiest mouth possible. Dental problems will only multiply as you get older, if left untreated, and they can have dire consequences. Here are a few important components to having a healthy mouth.

Healthy Gums

Your gums are made of a soft skin around your teeth, designed to keep bacteria away. If you have a build-up of plaque that is left untreated, your gums can become infected, which causes gingivitis. Toxins can irritate and inflame the gums as well. If left untreated, gingivitis can turn into periodontal disease, low-grade infection that can slowly destroy the gums and bones around your teeth. For healthy gums in Montana it’s important to find a dentist who can keep your gums healthy through regular check-ups and suggestions on daily maintenance. Brush and floss regularly, as well as having your teeth cleaned on a regular basis. Stay away from sugars, sodas, fruit juices, coffee, and other substances that have an adverse effect on your teeth.

Healthy Teeth

If you suspect you have a cavity, take care of it right away, so you don’t develop deeper problems. Regular check-ups can help prevent deeper problems. Dental care is costly, so it’s better to take care of problems before they happen, or in the early stages, to prevent more problems later on down the road. Floss daily, and brush your teeth three times a day right after eating. Brushing your teeth after each meal can help add a bit of refreshment to your day. If you work a desk job, brushing your teeth in the afternoon is a good excuse to get up and move around to take a trip to the restroom. Refresh your mouth and keep it healthy.

Healthy Breath

If you are cleaning your teeth regularly and taking good care of them, your breath will even smell considerably better, which impacts your social relationships. Regular tooth brushing and teeth cleanings keep your mouth smelling and feeling fresh. This is good for your professional life, as well as close personal relationships. Establish some daily and monthly systems for optimum mouth health, including daily maintenance and regular check-ups. Cosmetic improvements are also available, including orthodontia, teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, or other cosmetic options that may help you gain more success in your career and personal life. It’s most important to establish mouth health first and then add on these cosmetic options for improvement.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
