5 Things Your Dental Hygienist Wishes You Knew 🦷

➡️ Most cavities are preventable.
Tooth decay is one of the most common health conditions, but it's usually preventable. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and seeing a dentist regularly can go a long way in protecting your teeth.

➡️ Healthy gums shouldn't bleed.
If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it could be a sign of gum disease or inflammation. Keeping up with daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits can help prevent problems from getting worse.

➡️ Baby teeth matter.
Even though they're temporary, baby teeth play an important role in a child's health. They help kids chew, speak clearly, and hold space for adult teeth. Experts recommend kids see a dentist by their first birthday to build healthy habits early.

➡️ Oral health is overall health.
Poor oral health has been linked to conditions like heart disease, diabetes complications, and pregnancy complications. Taking care of your teeth and gums helps support your overall wellbeing.

➡️ Prevention starts early.
Preventive tools like dental sealants can protect kid's molars from cavities. School-based sealant programs and community screenings help reach kids who may not regularly see a dentist and keep small issues from becoming bigger ones.

Public health dental hygienists across Illinois work every day to prevent disease, educate communities, and help connect people to care - because healthy smiles are part of healthy communities.

That’s why the hepatitis B vaccine is one of the first protections most babies receive.
