A Healthy Smile: Good for More Than Just Appearances
Though perfect teeth and a bright smile are quite aesthetically pleasing, it's also a sign of strong oral health which can prevent potentially debilitating periodontal disease, notes Dr. Farzad Feiz
LOS ANGELES, March 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Most of us value a beautiful, bright, beaming smile, and the media is dominated by images of celebrities with perfect teeth. Studies consistently show that people respond positively to a good smile and that smiling can increase trust, comfort, and even physical attraction from others. Nevertheless, having a good set of teeth is about more than good looks. Our teeth are a critical component of our digestive system, and missing or damaged teeth can have negative health impacts on the entire body. As a popular, highly experienced dentist for West Hollywood residents, Dr. Farzad Feiz and his team are dedicated to helping his patients achieve truly stunning smiles that look incredible, while also promoting the lesser known health benefits of a healthy smile.
Though the allure of a perfect smile with straight, pearly white teeth can't be denied, there are other pluses besides the cosmetic appeal. Good oral hygiene and oral health are important because, without them, dental damage can occur, worsen, and lead to health consequences. Missing or damaged teeth that go untreated can lead to the spread of periodontal disease. Although gum disease is a serious issue that can have long lasting effects, many put off seeking dental care when they're experiencing issues because these issues may not seem significant. In reality, the bacteria that cause gum disease have been linked to other, much more debilitating and severe issues such as heart disease, stroke, and lung disease.
The perfect smile with glistening teeth is a boon for more than just appearances, it represents strong oral health. White teeth are a good image to pursue not just because it will impress, but because teeth that are yellow and stained are often weaker and covered in bacteria laden plaque. Damaged teeth also spread disease more easily as they have less healthy enamel for less protection against bacteria. Regular, good dental habits along with occasional visits to a quality dentist are the only way to re-enforce both effective oral health and hygiene, and brilliant and radiant teeth as well.
As with most products or services, expertise and experience make all the difference when it comes to the level of quality. A highly educated dentist will have the skill, resources, and expertise to provide the highest level of care to their patients, no matter what the issue may be.
