Fight Dental Disease with Fith Oil

Our patient’s are constantly asking us what else they can do to help maintain a health mouth. We always speak of brushing, flossing and having their teeth cleaned on a regular basis. Here are some additional suggestions that could raise your level of dental health another notch.

Changing your tooth brush regularly, make sure that when the bristles begin to lose their upright vertical nature, it’s time for a new one. Another recent study demonstrated that fish oil may help to support dental health and prevent dental disease. This was published in a recent issue of Nutrition. The study performed in Japan demonstrated that a inadequate amount of Omega-3 fatty acids, which is found in fish oil, had strong links to periodontal disease.

Many of us take fish oil on a daily basis for its positive effects on our helping to lower our cholesterol. Now we have we have another reason to take fish oil every day!
If you have any questions about periodontal disease and the impact that your diet can have on the health of your mouth, please do not hesitate to give us a call at 561-394-9000. We will arrange an appointment that works best with your schedule so we can get you on your way to a healthier mouth.
