Avon Diet and Dental Health

Diets low in certain nutrients reduce resistance to oral and dental infections, that is, periodontal disease (gum disease) and decay.  We feel a healthy immune system is essential to controlling periodontal disease.

If your goal is to keep your teeth for a lifetime, then perhaps you need to examine how you approach your dental care. For many, the high cost of continual dental repairs is a motivator to adopt preventive habits. The old adage "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is highly applicable to dentistry. The longer a dental problem persists, the more involved the repair will be. The problem for most people is that the vast majority of dental problems take place without any sign or warning. Painless dental problems are by biggest issue dentists deal with today. Early treatment, before pain begins, is less invasive, less expensive and the long-term outcome much more predictable. Is is never too late in life to have a comprehensive diagnosis of your condition and begin a program for lifelong oral health and well being.
