Did you know that a healthy mouth means a healthy body…a healthy heart…even a healthy sex life? It’s true! And just by changing certain habits related to oral hygiene you can improve the health of your mouth and teeth and lessen your risk for a whole host of illnesses.
“You cannot be healthy with an unhealthy mouth any more than one can be healthy with an infected foot,” says Richard H. Price, DMD, spokesperson for the American Dental Association and a former clinical instructor at the Boston University Dental School.
He’s absolutely right.
Researchers at the ADA have found that periodontitis (the advanced form of periodontal disease that can cause tooth loss) is linked with health problems, such as cardiovascular disease. It appears that bacteria in the mouth may cause inflammation throughout the body, including the arteries. Gingivitis (oral inflammation due to bacteria) may also play a role in clogged arteries and blood clots, possibly increasing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.

According to the National Institutes of Health, poor oral hygiene is the most common reason for bad breath. And all the mouthwash, breath mints, and breath fresheners in the world can’t banish bad breath when the source is bacteria rather than the food you eat.
If you’ve been having trouble keeping your mouth feeling fresh and smelling good, this article will help you locate the real source of the problem…and it may not be the onions you ate at lunch.
How do you know if your breath smells bad? If you’re lucky, someone may have the courtesy (and courage) to tell you to your face. But more often than not, other people will simply flinch, turn away, or step back a pace when you’re talking to them.
To avoid the embarrassing situations described above, you can use these two techniques to give yourself a breath checkup and help you determine what’s making your mouth smell so unpleasant to yourself and others.
If you failed Breath Test #2, you’re not alone. A research study conducted by the University of Buffalo concluded that one in four adults has halitosis, and some estimates suggest that as many as 90 million people have bad breath related to oral hygiene.
When the white substance on the back of your tongue smells bad, the likely culprit is a bacteria associated with gum disease is. The bacteria’s name is actinomyces, and it feeds on protein particles on the teeth and gums, producing foul-smelling sulfur gases in the process. Actinomyces is also the bacteria responsible for giving soil its ‘dirt’ smell and envelopes your mouth a sharp, pungent aroma.
Bacteria growth occurs when you fail to pay attention to your oral hygiene. In fact, flossing daily and brushing your teeth and tongue twice a day can greatly reduce bad breath as well as make it more difficult for bacteria to grow. BUT…
The same bacteria that cause gum disease, tooth decay, and abscessed teeth are also responsible for halitosis. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings are the only way to really ensure that your mouth is healthy and your breath is sweet-smelling.

Speak with Confidence
if you have teeth that are stained, discolored or otherwise not ‘in shape,’ you may feel self-conscious. this can stop you from speaking freely. Or if you unconsciously put your hands in front of your mouth when you talk. But when your teeth and gums are healthy, you have the confidence to express yourself. And confidence is a very appealing characteristic.
Missing, crooked, and broken teeth are problems for lots of people. Sadly, many of them don’t take the time and effort to do anything about it. And that’s a shame because modern dentistry has so many amazing techniques and procedures that can help.
It really starts with regular check-ups and cleanings. That’s the baseline of a healthy, happy smile. After that, there’s practically no end to what can be done to make your mouth look and feel great.
Tooth whitening can banish coffee stains and remove the yellow left behind from smoking. Invisible braces can remove gaps and get your teeth in line. Perhaps you’re a candidate for an ‘extreme makeover’ with dental implants or veneers. Whatever you choose, you can be certain that the investment you make in a ‘million dollar’ smile will pay for itself a thousand times over.

When First Impressions Count:
Let Your Teeth Do the Talking
When you need to make a good first impression, make sure your teeth are working for you and not against you.
Have you ever heard the expression ‘a million dollar smile’? It’s been applied to everyone from movie stars (like Angelina Jolie) to motivational speakers (like Tony Robbins). And that’s because a great smile can be worth a million dollars as far as making a great impression.
In Psychology Today magazine, Paul Ekman, professor of psychology at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco, and a pioneer of research on facial expressions, revealed the importance of smiling. “We (respond to) a smile from 30 meters away,” he says. “A smile lets us know that we’re likely to get a positive reception, and it’s hard not to reciprocate.”
In other words, when you smile at someone, they want to smile back at you. That immediately sets up a positive interaction, even before a word is spoken. What a great way to start off a job interview!
All Eyes Are On Your Mouth
It’s a simple fact of life: how you present yourself to others is essential to your success in both personal and professional situations. When you meet a prospective employer or have a chance encounter with a prospective ‘love connection,’ the other person will form a first impression of you in a matter of seconds.
Your smile can be an important tool for making that first impression a good one.
In a job interview or on a first date, you’ll almost certainly be talking. And as well as focusing on your words, the person on the other side of the conversation will also be focusing on your mouth. With a brighter smile, you instantly stand out from the crowd. Others will be drawn to you and want to listen to every word you have to say.
A bright white smile and a set of healthy, well-cared for teeth and gums say many things about you. Perhaps the most important thing they convey to others is that you take pride in your appearance and care about your health.
Speak with Confidence
People with teeth that are stained, discolored or otherwise not ‘in shape,’ may feel self-conscious. So they refrain from speaking freely. Or they may unconsciously put their hands in front of their mouths when they talk. But when your teeth and gums are healthy, you have the confidence to express yourself. And confidence is a very appealing characteristic.
