Your regular dental appointments
can do more than keep your brilliant white smile. Ensuring that your dental
care is never neglected can also tell dentists a lot about your overall health
which includes whether or not you may be developing diseases like diabetes.
Not only is maintaining a healthy
smile important to us, it has also become part of our lives. Hence, we often
visit out chosen family dentists for regular teeth and gum treatment - from
teeth alignment, overbite, gum and other dental treatments. We may have learned
basic oral care from home, and some of the most important tips and facts from
our dentist, but here are 5 fun facts about teeth you may enjoy learning about.
1. The
enamel, which is located on the top surface of our tooth is the hardest part of
our body.
2. In
cutting, tearing and grinding food, humans have four major types of teeth to
use namely: incisors, canine, premolars and molars.
3. Over
a lifetime, an average person spends 38.5 days brushing their teeth.
4. Heart
disease, osteoporosis and diabetes are just some of the many diseases that are
linked to an individual’s oral health.
5. Your
dental records are as unique as your fingerprint. There are no two people who
have the same set of teeth.
