PROMOTE HEALTH

Oral health may be influenced by plaque control, nutrition, fluoride
exposure, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications
and/or medical treatments. Oral bacteria (plaque) produce
acids that may destroy tooth enamel after long
periods of time. Frequency of a highly acidic oral
environment increases the risk for dental disease.
In many cases, dental disease can be prevented.

Prevention starts as early as primary tooth
development. Oral health care should be
promoted throughout pregnancy, infancy,
childhood, teen and adult life. Special attention
to oral care should be enforced when certain
medical conditions may influence the oral
environment. Increased awareness of potentially
unhealthy oral conditions may help prevent oral
infection, or promote early detection, thereby
motivating improvement and management.

Monitoring oral pH will allow patients to evaluate an acidic environment, and change their oral care routines to increase oral pH to a healthier level, thereby reducing the risk of dental disease.
