Keep Smiling Detroit!
It has been said that the smile holds power and increases one’s face value…no pun intended. The smile is important for many reasons. It can improve your attitude, calm you, and present a more positive image to others. A smile is our biggest tool in interacting with people and creating new relationships. In fact, a majority of people note that a smile is the first thing people notice about others.
For these reasons, among others, it is important to have a nice smile. Achieving a nice smile starts on the inside. It is first and foremost important to have a healthy smile.
Many people with straight, pearly white teeth look as if they have healthy smiles, while their teeth are rotting on the inside. It is far too often that people ignore their decaying teeth and infected gums and focus on making their teeth look pretty.
The first step in achieving a healthy and beautiful smile is to evaluate your periodontal and dental health. About 70% of Americans have some form of periodontal disease so it is important to diagnose and treat it before it worsens.
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums caused by bacteria. If left untreated it can destroy the bone that supports the teeth and result in tooth loss. Because it is generally painless, many people do not even know they have it!
