Jingle bells, a gum that swells, could ruin your Christmas break!
Ensure your holiday plans don’t get sidelined by sickness this Christmas.
The human immune system is the thing that keeps us free from infection. Scientists, Doctors and Dentists are always trying to get a better understanding of it. What do we find? It is a very, very complicated place. Often, they find the links behind the most unlikely of events.
Did you know that effective brushing can reduce pneumonia, a leading cause of death in hospitals, by up to 50 per cent!
New studies show that the more furry your teeth feel, the more likely you are to be susceptible to viruses like Covid. One common bacteria causing gums to swell and bleed, P. Gingivalis, has also been found to leave the mouth open to virus attack.
Bleeding gums are a sign that the balance of health is failing. A check-up and clean can get you back on track.
Get your dentist and hygienist to fix holes and check your cleaning technique is keeping the bugs to a minimum.
Make use of your benefits from health funds, before they run out, to get your mouth fighting fit.
Giving yourself the best chance of being healthy this Christmas starts now and we at Airlie Smile Care wish all the community a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
