Dental Neglect
(If you can pronounce 'diplodicus' you can say 'dental caries'!) 

 
We don't often consider how important the health of our mouth is in terms of our  overall health.  Dental neglect can lead to many other issues, such as:

- pain (no kidding!!)
- loss of sleep
- lower body weight (because you can't eat those                  nutritious vegetables and proteins)
- infection (also very painful!)
- learning difficulties
- loss of function (it hurts to chew!)
- psychological impact (My mouth hurts. I don't look good.    I hate to smile. I'm not pretty.)

The Canadian Health Measures Survey in 2010 revealed that 62% of the population is overweight or obese. They linked the consumption of pop to the increase in weight levels. The acid in soda eats away at the enamel of your teeth, so not only are you gaining weight, you have the added bonus(!) of tooth decay! (And yes, diet soda does the same damage.)

 
Instead of grabbing that pop, what about going half and half with carbonated water and your favourite juice? You're cutting out the bulk of the acid (juice still has some), and cutting the calories, too! Dairy products, especially cheese, are great for your teeth. And if you can't get to your toothbrush after a meal, chew some sugarless gum (with xylitol, if possible).
Be proactive in your health. Visit the dentist twice a year, think about what you are putting into your body, and take good care of yourself physically and mentally!
