Poor Dental Care Is In Direct Correlation With Heart Disease.

So you haven't been to the dentist since the late 80's. You're scared to go now and just decide to avoid the dentist all together. Instead you opt to hang out with the grim reaper. A bit far fetched? Not really.

Did you know poor dental care is in direct correlation with heart disease? Think of all of those times you ducked the dentist only to let an infection in the mouth get into your blood stream, travel to your heart and- well, you know the rest. Scared? You should be. You should be scared if you don't visit a dentist regularly. Sure dentists grab those cold tools and put you under that bright light while the hose slurps your mouth dry. Small price to pay to avoid heart disease, wouldn't you say?

So, if you haven't visited a dentist since the Reagan administration and are wary of what he may do to you, think of the daily assault not only to your teeth, but to your body. Unless your a mechanic, you most likely take your car in for repair. Regard your teeth with as much maintenance as your beloved car. Even Dentists see Dentists- Kind of hard to work on your own mouth under sedation.

Be afraid of the dark, be afraid of spiders but don't be afraid of the dentist. We're here to help. We just want to hang out twice a year. Gingivitis wants to homestead in your mouth. We don't sound so bad anymore, do we?
