Be #MouthProud: World Oral Health Day 2021 Tips from My Local Dentists Leichhardt

World Oral Health Day is celebrated to spread awareness of the importance of oral health.

Be Proud of Your Mouth. Value and take care of it.

This year, your Leichhardt dentist wants to inspire change by focusing on the importance of oral health for overall health since good oral health can help you live a long and healthier life.

7 Key Oral Health Messages for World Oral Health Day

World Oral Health Day 2021 is only a couple of days away.

Your Leichhardt dentist shares these 7 key messages about good oral health at every stage of life.

#1. Look After Oral Health for Overall Health

Just like any other major diseases, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases is important to prevent any negative effects on the rest of your body.

#2. Protect your Mouth while you’re on-the-go

Chewing sugar-free gum is proven beneficial to dental health as it helps neutralise plaque acids.

#3. Learn Good Oral Health Habits for Children

It is important to care for your teeth and mouth because germs can cause toothache, tooth decay and holes in your teeth.

#4. Take Charge of Your Oral Health

Tooth decay is the most common dental health problem in the world, caused by an unhealthy diet high in sugar and exposure to other health risk factors.

#5. Maintain a Balanced, Low-Sugar Diet

Consuming excessive amounts of sugar from drinks, snacks, and processed foods not only causes tooth decay but also contributes to obesity and increases the risk of diabetes.

#6. Practice a Good Hygiene Routine

Oral diseases, such as tooth decay and gum disease, can impact every aspect of life, from relationships and self-confidence through to school, work and the ability to interact with others.

Oral diseases are preventable, though, so it’s important to practice a good oral hygiene routine every day.

#7. Visit your Leichhardt Dentist Regularly

Oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people and are often linked to other serious health issues.

These diseases often lead to pain, discomfort, social isolation, loss of self-confidence, and lost hours at work or school, too.
