Pain, Tooth Loss, and Serious Health Risks
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late!
Neglecting proper oral hygiene and skipping regular dental exams can lead to serious and potentially irreversible health problems. Poor dental care doesn’t just affect your teeth, it can impact your overall well-being.
The Consequences of Poor Oral Hygiene
Botulinum toxin (Botulinum toxin) offers a non-invasive, highly effective treatment for TMD by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for clenching, grinding, and tension. This treatment:
- Severe Tooth Decay & Cavities:Without proper care, plaque and bacteria build up, causing cavities. Left untreated, decay reaches the nerve, leading to pain and the need for root canals or extractions.
- Gum Disease (Gingivitis & Periodontitis): Plaque irritates the gums, causing gingivitis (redness, swelling, bleeding). If untreated, it progresses to periodontitis, leading to gum recession, tooth loss, and bone damage.
- Bad Breath (Halitosis): Bacteria and decaying food particles cause persistent bad breath, leading to social discomfort and embarrassment.
- Tooth Loss & Jawbone Deterioration: Untreated decay and gum disease lead to tooth loss. Missing teeth cause jawbone deterioration, affecting facial structure and chewing ability.
- Painful Infections & Abscesses: Cavities and gum disease can lead to infections that spread to the bone or bloodstream, requiring emergency treatment.
- Higher Risk of Heart Disease & Stroke: Oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream, increasing inflammation and contributing to heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
- Complications with Diabetes & Other Conditions: Gum disease worsens blood sugar control in diabetics and has been linked to respiratory infections, pregnancy risks, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Neglecting your teeth can lead to pain, costly treatments, and serious health risks. Prioritize your oral health today—schedule a dental exam and professional cleaning to prevent future complications.
