This June, we’re joining the nation in celebrating Oral Health Month! It’s the perfect time to reflect on the importance of a healthy smile and how it impacts our overall well-being. At Raymore Family Dentistry, we’re passionate about helping our patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
Why Oral Health Matters
Your oral health is more than just having pearly white teeth; it’s intrinsically connected to your overall health. Poor oral hygiene can contribute to a variety of health issues, including:
- Heart Disease: Studies have shown a link between gum disease and heart disease. Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and potentially contribute to the formation of arterial plaque.
- Diabetes: People with diabetes are more prone to gum disease, and gum disease can make it harder to control blood sugar levels. Maintaining good oral health is crucial for managing diabetes.
- Pregnancy Complications: Pregnant women with gum disease may be at higher risk for premature birth and low birth weight babies.
- Respiratory Problems: Bacteria from the mouth can be inhaled into the lungs, potentially causing respiratory infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

We believe that everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile they can be proud of. Here’s how we can help you celebrate Oral Health Month:
