Why Healthy is the New Beautiful For Women in Wilmington

added on: June 7, 2021

As a society, we have come to embrace the power of female beauty, without any regard to body shape or the color of our skin. But there’s something else women of all ages and backgrounds need to be aware of, and your holistic and biological dentist in  Wilmington is here to tell you all about it — because we’re All About Smiles.

Every woman’s overall wellbeing can be affected by oral health issues. There have been more studies over the years highlighting the underlying link between what’s going on in your mouth and its connection to the rest of your body. 

What Women Need to Know

There’s also been research showing that gum disease is linked to potentially dangerous health conditions such as:

  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Stroke
  • Premature birth defects
  • Low birth weight

Especially when it comes to reproductive issues, you can see why your holistic and biological dentists in Wilmington want to make sure women understand how important it is to have healthy teeth and gums. Think of taking care of your smile as an investment in your future, in your health — for life!

Other Women’s Dental Health Issues

As women grow older and their bodies change, so do their hormones. Sometimes gums can become swollen or irritated before menstruation. It’s also not unheard of for women to also develop canker sores at this time. Are you or someone in your family currently taking birth control pills? They can also lead to gum discomfort or inflammation. When a woman enters menopause, it’s not uncommon to experience oral pain, altered taste, and dry mouth. 

We hope you see why it’s so important to see your Wilmington biological and holistic dentist regularly, along with regular brushing and flossing. If you’d like to learn more about the links between your oral and overall health, please schedule a consultation at our Wilmington holistic dental office. We’re here to partner with you for better health and a longer life.
