Our overall health can often be affected by our dental health! Dental problems can cause issues in other areas, often resulting in headaches or other related concerns. When we have a healthy mouth, we tend to feel better. At DeCapite Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we work with our patients in Livonia and the Westside of Detroit to ensure they feel good about their teeth and their dental health.
Dr. Jim DeCapite wants our patients in the greater Detroit Metro Area to know that there are four simple steps to take for a healthier mouth:
- Eat fresh, crunchy fruits and vegetables: When our patients eat more apples, carrots, and other crunchy, healthy fruits and vegetables, they enjoy better dental health and better overall health! Of course, the fruits and vegetables are healthier for our bodies, but they can also help improve our dental health by producing saliva that rinses away bacteria and food particles!
- Drink plenty of water: Fresh, clean water is much better for our bodies and our teeth than sugary beverages. Drinking tap water that contains fluoride gives teeth the added benefit of protection against decay.
- Brush and floss: Remember the 2×2 rule! Every day, brush for two minutes twice a day. Floss at least once a day to improve dental health.
- See Dr. DeCapite on a regular basis: A professional cleaning can get to the places that regular brushing and flossing can miss. A regular checkup can help the professional staff at DeCapite Family and Cosmetic Dentistry ensure that our patients in Livonia and the Motor City have a healthy mouth throughout the year!
Dr. Jim DeCapite is focused on making sure patients understand the connection between good dental health and overall health. Following these simple steps can help our patients in the greater Detroit metro area enjoy a happy, healthy mouth!
