When it comes to dental health and oral hygiene, many of us believe we pretty much know about all there is to know about the topic. However, despite intense public information campaigns, widespread water fluoridation programs, and improved dental health products, there are some very sobering statistics regarding our failure to properly prevent common dental problems like cavities and gum disease. Here are a few statistics compiled by the CDC:
- Nearly 1 in 4 adults over the age of 60 have lost all of their natural teeth
- Nine in ten adults has tooth decay over the age of 40
- 1 in 4 children under the age of five already has a cavity
- 1 in 2 children aged 6-18 have at least one cavity-for those that do have cavities and also live below the poverty line-only half get treatment
- Upwards of 15% of adults are believed to have advanced gum disease
Clearly, despite what we are supposed to know about preventing common dental problems, something is going wrong. Nearly 30,000 people each year are diagnosed with throat or mouth cancer and the bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth decay may be a large factor in many of those cases. And it is indeed those harmful bacteria that cause most of our common dental problems and which may start even bigger medical issues if they spread beyond the oral cavity, including:
- Heart disease
- Infective Endocarditis
- Stroke
- Weakened immune system
Good oral hygiene such as brushing and flossing daily using ADA certified dental health products is the cornerstone to any strategy aimed at preventing the harmful bacteria present in the mouth from causing problems. However, what many of us don’t know is that our own saliva can help prevent advanced gum disease and cavities because it also helps to naturally control these harmful microbes that are always present in the human mouth.

Roses have long been the standard when it comes to romance. Many men send women roses, or a single rose, to express love, commitment, or to apologize. Roses are expensive, though how much they will cost you will depend on the kind you buy. Many couples love to include them in their wedding ceremony, and rose petals have also become a traditional part of the day. In many cases, couples have a flower girl who spreads rose petals down the aisle before the bride makes her final walk as a single woman.

There are many theories to explain what causes psoriasis and the outbreaks. Currently most doctors believe that there is an accelerated cell turnover rate. This turnover causes the immune system to begin focusing on destroying healthy skin cells instead of the bad invading microorganisms.
Your white blood cells (T cells) search for foreign substances called antigens while they circulate through your blood. When they find these antigens and begin attack mode in order to protect you from these viruses and bacteria attempting to enter your skin. But because of the turnover rate of skin cells, they begin attacking your own skin cells as if they were antigens and causing Psoriasis.
At this point the immune system is responding by sending or releasing cytokines, which are proteins that tell skin cells to reproduce at a faster rate. The release of cytokines also causes your body to release more T cells.

Prior to preschool, dental health is a fairly easy part of the parenting. After all, a parent has a number of real advantages when it comes to kids dental health, such as:
- Ability to control all food intake
- Can help/supervise oral hygiene practices every day
- Permanent teeth have yet to come in
It is in the years before preschool that a parent has the most control of a child and dental health care in the home. However, once children begin going out into the world and attending school, eating meals away from home, and listening to outside influences-well, it becomes far more difficult to prevent common dental problems like:
- Tooth decay
- Gingivitis
- Halitosis
Prior to the age of six when the adult molars come in, any dental health and oral hygiene mistakes can be forgotten. However, once those permanent teeth fill the oral cavity, any lapses in pediatric dental health care will lead to more severe and expensive consequences. Unfortunately, it is at this very age when a parent begins losing control and the child starts brushing their own teeth and taking control of their own destiny.
Although the development of autonomy is important to the mental growth of a child, the fact remains that dental health and oral hygiene tend to be issues that many preschoolers fail to fully understand. As a parent, you know there are potentially devastating consequences should good oral hygiene practices fail.
