Exercise for a healthier smile

Regular exercise is a great way to keep fit and it appears that it’s good for your mouth too. British and American studies have found that people who eat nutritious foods, manage their weight and exercise regularly are less likely to develop periodontal (gum) disease.

Gum disease is the #1 cause of tooth loss in adults. Exercise helps to reduce inflammation in the body and that includes gum inflammation. So floss, brush, drink water, eat healthy foods and make exercise part of your daily routine.
