As crisp autumn weather settles over London and students return to Western University, staying healthy is both a priority and a challenge. To get ahead of the cold and flu season, we stock up on seasonal produce and focus on sleep.
But what about your oral health?
Yes, there is an important connection between your oral health (especially gums) and your immune system,.
Keep reading to learn how a professional autumn hygiene cleaning directly benefits your whole-body health.
Lighten Your Immune System’s Daily Workload
Hardened plaque along the gumline brings a wealth of bacteria that your immune system constantly battles. Your immune system works continuously to keep gum inflammation in check. By removing tartar during a fall cleaning, we eliminate that extra bacteria, reducing the load on your immune system. Without gum inflammation to fight, your natural defenses can focus on keeping you healthy.
Protect Teeth from Hearty Autumn Foods
Fall menus in London feature delicious, firm foods like raw apples, squash, and roasted nuts. However, if you have an undetected crack in enamel or a weak, old filling, one bite can fracture your tooth. During your fall dental exam, we can check for structural issues early and help ensure your teeth can handle seasonal meals.
Seal Exposed Tooth Roots Against Chilly Winds
Slight gum recession can cause sharp temperature shocks during a walk through Springbank Park. During your autumn visit, our hygiene team applies protective fluoride coatings over vulnerable root surfaces to keep out cold-weather pain. We can also discuss gum recession treatment to address the underlying issue.
