Dental cleanings are crucial to overall health and well-being. The passionate and experienced team at Roman Dental in Houston, TX – led by Dr. Roman Kotlarek – is here to help you understand their benefits.

The perks of regular cleaning extend beyond just brightening your smile. Below, you’ll learn more about the connection between good oral health and whole-body health. 

The Link Between Oral and General Health

It may be surprising to learn that your oral health can mirror your body’s condition. Poor dental hygiene can contribute to serious medical problems.

In fact, the American Dental Association has found that bacteria from the mouth can cause infections in other areas of the body. This issue is particularly likely if your immune system is compromised.

Regular dental cleanings eliminate plaque and tartar that can be difficult to reach by brushing and flossing at home.

Professional teeth cleanings help to prevent gum disease. However, they can also decrease your risk of developing conditions linked to inflammation, infections in the mouth, and even serious diseases and medical emergencies such as heart diseasestroke, and diabetes.

A deep cleaning at Roman Dental ensures that hard-to-reach areas get cleaned thoroughly. It will help you maintain optimal oral health and total body health.
