This Dental Minute I wanted to talk about dentistry in a way that you don’t normally hear about, and that is it is a form of self-care. When we talk about self-care, we usually think about going to get a massage or having some time with friends or some quiet time for ourselves, reading a good book, skin care, but caring for your teeth really is part of self-care too. It impacts not just your smile, but your whole body, how you feel about yourself.
When you present yourself to others, how you feel about yourself at work and relationship and those kinds of things are ways to showcase the impact of maintaining a regular checkup. It’s really about overall health and confidence.
So let’s just talk about that. Routine dental visits help prevent cavities, gum disease, and we all know that there’s a connection between the mouth and the rest of the body. With a regular visit we prevent jaw pain, headaches, we keep your smile bright, your breath fresh and your overall body healthier. Since we know that oral health is closely related to everything else in the body, it’s one of the easiest ways to invest in yourself every single day. Brushing, flossing and keeping up with your checkups may not feel super glamorous or as relaxing as going to the spa or a shopping trip, but the benefits can be just as rewarding. When you love your smile, you feel better about yourself, you feel better in your relationships, you feel better at your job, you just feel more overall confident, and that’s what we’re trying to create in our office here.
Think of your dental care as part of your self-care, the part that helps you stay healthy, confident, and ready to take on the world. Give us a call at (270)685-1777 to reserve your little space in our dental spa here at Rowland Family Dentistry.
