Genetics Testing And Dental Health

Posted on 7/4/2022 by Evan

Having healthy teeth is always an important goal for everyone. Most people think by doing a genetic test, they will be able to predict whether or not they will have healthy teeth in the future. We focus on educating you on ways to improve and maintain your dental health. So far, having such a test has been rendered impossible.

Limit smoking

If you decide to stop or limit smoking in order to save your gums from gum diseases, this move will have a major positive effect on your teeth. People who smoke are prone to suffering from gum disease compared to non-smokers. In the process of smoking, bacterial plaque is formed, resulting in gum disease. The more plaque, the lower the chances of gum healing.

Oral hygiene

Having good oral hygiene is very vital in dental care. This enables you to grow healthy teeth and have healthy gums. We encourage you to brush twice daily after every meal using fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush. This ensures the removal of food particles in the mouth, cleaning of teeth surfaces and reduces the chances of tooth decay.

Eating a balanced diet

Our dentists encourage you to always consume a balanced diet as it will strengthen your teeth and gums. Foods rich in calcium, such as cheese, are good for strengthening your tooth enamel. Drinking water after every meal helps remove food particles and prevents having a dry mouth.

Regular dental visits

You are advised to visit our dentists for checkups and for early diagnosis and treatment of any tooth disease detected. Our dentists are highly qualified to help you understand more about your teeth. In the case of any inquiry, call or visit us for more information on genetic testing and dental care.
