Taking care of yourself and staying healthy can obviously make you feel good, but there are other ways that dentistry can improve your life too! We love how dentistry can have a direct impact on our patients’ lives—here are some of our deep thoughts about why dentistry can make you happier.
Dentistry Can Boost Confidence
A simple annual teeth cleaning can remove built-up plaque and teeth staining on your teeth, immediately helping you feel more confident in your smile. Other larger cosmetic procedures, such as professional teeth whitening, veneers, or an orthodontic treatment, can help you smile bigger and feel more comfortable in social and professional settings. This can directly improve your mental health. We love how transformative dentistry can be in this way!
Dentistry Can Prevent Pain and Discomfort
If you suffer from tooth loss, bite misalignment, TMJ issues, or cavities, not addressing these issues can lead to larger problems like headaches and chronic pain. Preventative dentistry can help make sure you don’t run into larger, more costly emergencies down the line and keep you pain-free!
Restorative Dentistry Drastically Improves Well Being
Many people who suffer from tooth loss have trouble chewing their food or are in chronic pain. When we prescribe a restorative dental treatment, this will help our patients bring back proper bite alignment, digest their food better through better chewing, and help them avoid jaw strain.
Support Daily Healthy Habits
When you follow routine healthy oral habits such as brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily, you’re more likely to continue being healthy in other parts of your life. Dentists help teach you how to take care of your teeth and your overall health, which we think is incredibly powerful for longevity.
Conclusion
We love that dentistry isn’t just about your teeth. As dentists, we’re proud that good oral health habits can help support your confidence, mental health, comfort, and long-term health.
