Summit Dental Center is warning Houstonian women about the studies and correlations between continuous oral hygiene and the reduction of cardiovascular problems in women later on life. The study, taken by an online journal called “Health Economics,” showed that continued dental care by women greatly reduced the risk of cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks, and strokes in women in a causal type way. Further studies by the esteemed UC Berkeley backed up the findings with years of research on the subject of women and cardiovascular health. The studies definitely indicated that women who attended regular dental checkups and practiced balanced oral care daily had a significantly lower instance of any cardiovascular disease or trauma.
We at Summit Dental Center just wanted you ladies to know about this because it clearly defines the overall link and importance that healthy oral care is to the rest of our body.

Yes…Flouride in water is supposed to make your enamel stronger, your teeth decay at a much slower rate, and thus you see less Dental bills later on in life. But it must be done at birth in the earlier stages as “Your fluoridation exposure at birth is affecting your tooth loss in your 40s and 50s, regardless of what your fluoridation exposure was like when you were 20 and 30 years old.” – According to Matthew Neidell, a Columbia University Professor.
IN fact, this study also went on to say in the State of Louisiana they did a Medicaid Study where for every 1$ the state put into water fluoridation they saw 38$ less in Teeth Care.
That’s quite a turnaround in dollars and cents.

Summit Dentists in Houston, Texas want to educate their community about teeth and how they work!

1. Millions of people can crack a walnut with their teeth.  While many adults apply 20-40 pounds of pressure when their teeth make contact there are millions of people that can exert up to 250 pounds of pressure.
2. Bulimia and Acid Reflux wear away tooth enamel.
3. Swimming in overly chlorinated pools can cause tooth and gum erosion.  Be sure to brush with a fluoride toothpaste before and after taking a dip in the pool to help keep your teeth strong.
4. Soda and Citrus can be abrasive to tooth enamel. Phosphoric acid in soda and citric acid in citrus drinks can cause tooth enamel corrosion and the sugar in the drinks can cause cavities.
5. Most people don’t realize that they have bad breath.  Using dental floss or a tongue scrapper, sniff either the floss or the scrapper. If your mouth is clean there won’t be a bad odor.
6.  Infection and trauma can cause tooth enamel defects.  High fevers, taking antibiotics, nutritional deficiencies and other trauma can cause tooth enamel abnormality.
7. 80% of Americans that are over 35 have gum disease.  It can be anything from gingivitis to something more serious that effects the bone.
8. One in four adults over 60 has lost all of his or her teeth.  Its important to maintain good oral hygiene, brush twice a day and attend your regular dentist appointments.
