Dentistry Isn’t an Optional Health Service You Can Disregard
Here’s Why:
Mounting evidence points to the critical …and possibly life threatening links… between poor dental health and a slew of serious health conditions… heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Poor dental health markedly worsened all of these life threatening conditions. Rheumatoid arthritis is linked to diseased teeth and gums. Poor dental health of mothers appears to increase the incidence of low birth weight babies. So it isn’t just about teeth anymore. It is about your health. It is about your life!

How Long Do You Want to Live? The Answer Could Lie With You Teeth!
I have known for a long time, that people with healthy teeth and gums live longer and enjoy themselves more in their golden years, from personal observation. According to one source, a person lives 6.6 years longer when they have a healthy mouth! As a comparison, stopping smoking only yields a little over 5 years of increased longevity! There ought to be a national campaign similar to the stop smoking campaign on achieving and maintaining dental health, at least.
The Martin Method system understands this in spades and helps you achieve the dental health you need. But it isn’t just about the quantity of your life. The quality of your life is directly affected. Our patients live active, full lives that they enjoy… traveling… enjoying a good meal… playing with their kids or grandkids…spending time with their friends. They are able to smile with confidence…laugh heartily at the goings-on of life… chew and savor their food. How much is that worth?
Stop the Aging of Your Teeth
Teeth get “tired”. Figuratively speaking, restorations (fillings) get “tired” just like our bodies as they grow older.
Just like our eyes need bifocals increasingly past age forty… so do our teeth need extra help. Old fillings or other dentistry starts breaking down and wearing out after it has been in the mouth a long time. Usually starting at around age forty, a person will start needing replacements for worn out dentistry.
