Oral
Hygiene
The Baby Boomer generation was the first to
have the advantage of fluoride in its water and
toothpaste. Previous generations were marked by
significant oral health issues, including the
loss of teeth during adulthood. The addition of
fluoride to water sources and toothpastes, along
with a focus on oral hygiene in schools and
families, has lead to an overall improvement in
oral health conditions.

However, despite health warnings, many
individuals continue to indulge in habits which
have a detrimental affect on oral health. Tobacco
is one of the most common culprits in poor oral
health. In fact, research shows that smokers have
seven times the risk of developing gum disease as
non-smokers. Cigarette smokers are not the only
tobacco users at risk--cigars, pipes and
smokeless tobacco also increase the risk of gum
disease, oral and throat cancer and oral fungal
infections. Alcohol use is also a risk factor for
oral and throat cancer, and the risk increases
greatly when alcohol and tobacco are used in
combination.
Diet choices also have a significant impact on
oral health. It is wise to limit the number of
snacks throughout the day and to avoid sugars and
starches. Diets high in fiber-rich fruits and
vegetables have been shown to stimulate salivary
flow, which contributes to the prevention of
tooth decay.
In addition to avoiding poor habits and eating
a balanced diet, regular brushing, flossing and
tongue scraping are also important steps in any
oral hygiene plan. Order your oral hygiene
