Cosmetic
dentistry may not seem important, but your smile can negatively impact your
life beyond affecting your positive relationships with others and business
opportunities. Dr. Judy Strutz, a prosthodontist practicing in San Bernardino,
suggests, “Don’t wait to restore your smile until you have multiple problems
that need to be fixed.”
Your smile can
be your greatest asset, but an unhealthy smile can decrease your energy level
and overall health. Bacteria have been linked to negative health problems
including heart disease, gum infection, bone loss and pain. The bad bacteria
enter the blood stream through the gum tissue and have been recognized as
having an impact on your other organs.
Time is
precious. You don’t want to waste it not feeling at your best. Self-confidence
can impact which jobs you apply for or the opportunities that come your way in
business. You have less than seven seconds to make a great impression. If you
cover your smile, or don’t smile, you may appear to potential employers as not
having the winning attitude they want for their business. Happiness and
confidence attract others with those same qualities.
The
longer you wait the more money it may cost you. Once you lose one tooth it is
common to lose several more within a few months. Dr. Strutz says, “Your jawbone
is stimulated through chewing, if there are not teeth in a particular area, the
jawbone may not have the same strength it had before.” Teeth may also shift
into the location of the missing teeth. As this problem occurs, you may
experience pain in the jaw that causes you problems when eating certain
foods.
Waiting can
increase the pain, time and money you need to invest in order to restore your
smile to the healthy, white one you once had.
