I heard from my Dentist In Little Rock that if you take good care of your teeth and mouth for you entire life that you will live 10 years longer. He said that you have to regularly floss, brush and get checkups. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

While eating too much red meat is obviously not necessarily good for health, meat contains phosphorus which along with calcium is vital to the development of healthy bones and teeth. Animal products such as turkey, chicken, beef and eggs all contain phosphorus and calcium, however see the note later on regarding calcium.

Yes definitely! I am soon to graduate from dental hygiene school, so I know a thing or two about this stuff
For your whole life (or at least part of it, I hope) you have been told, or I should say warned, that you have more bacteria in your mouth than anywhere else in your body, and not only does it accumulate by the millions, but it can be super dangerous, right?
Well, you know how when you don't take care of your teeth your gums bleed? This occurs, because your body, in order to fight off the infection that has accumulated in your oral cavity, has made your tissues just "damaged" enough to allow your white blood cells to pass from your blood stream into the infected area, in order to fight off the bacteria that is also damaging your tissues. Your tissues therefore become so fragile from the infection and your body's defense system that you very easily bleed.
Now, with that said, tissue permeability is both a blessing and a curse. To explain: tissue permeability allows your body's defense system of white blood cells to pass through from your blood stream to your oral cavity, but keep in mind that what tissue is permeable for big ol' white blood cells to pass through is ALSO permeable enough for very tiny microscopic bacteria to pass through, too; get the picture yet?
As your body is trying to fight off your infection you caused by not brushing and flossing and taking care of your teeth, it has opened up a two-way path between your oral cavity and your blood stream
If your body is compromised in any way, or if you have so much infection going on that your body cannot compensate fast enough for it, or even if you are as healthy as an ox, you run a very high risk of that harmful bacteria getting past your white blood cells undetected and into your cardiovascular system, all because of infection.Do you know what that means for you???
Once bacteria is able to enter your blood stream, you run the risk of spreading that harmful bacteria anywhere your cardiovascular system will take it! That's some scary stuff right there!
The worse the infection in your mouth, the worse the bacteria are that cause it, and the worse it is for you if that VERY bad bacteria gets into your blood stream.
So I know what you may be thinking: There are plenty of bacteria in your mouth that enter your blood stream every day and nothing bad ever happens. Bacteria can enter the blood stream through a cut; it can enter in through routine dental work; it can enter in through microscopic damage caused by the picking around you just did with a toothpick as you tried to dig out the food between your teeth. So what's the big deal right?
Let me put it this way: Are you going to be that lucky every day that the bacteria in your mouth won't eventually cause a problem? Are you willing to take that risk as you age and your body's defense system gets weaker?
As you brush and floss and receive regular dental hygiene cleanings, you keep the very bad bacteria levels low and you run a much lower risk of running into health problems caused by bacteremia (or bacteria in the blood). However, if you let infection in the oral cavity go untreated, that really nasty and very dangerous bacteria is going to grow out of control and it's not going to be the less harmful little bacteria entering your system anymore, it's going to be the REALLY dangerous bacteria that you don't want traveling through your body.
I cannot stress enough the importance of getting your teeth cleaned! You should have your hygienist show you sometime just what he/she is scraping off: Big white chunks of hardened bacterial colonization that if un-removed only sticks to your teeth and shelters more nasty bacteria beneath it, and the deeper the bacteria fester beneath the gumline, the worse the bacteria strains are, because they do not need oxygen to survive.

The purpose of a dental cleaning is NOT to make your teeth white or to make your teeth feel smooth again. Bacterial build up in your oral cavity can be so dangerous; it can not only compromise the health and preservation of your actual teeth, which is a whole other chapter that I didn't even touch on, but it truly has the ability to compromise your health, and when we tell you to brush and floss every day, we aren't just saying it, because it is our job, we say it for the good of your overall health and well being, honestly. I wish more people took a vested interest in the health of their oral cavities. Unfortunately, most people don't really consider dental care to be anything more than just a quick fix to whatever ails them that day. I should know; I used to be one of them.

To prevent cavities, you need to remove plaque, the transparent layer of bacteria that coats the teeth. The best way to do this is by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Brushing also stimulates the gums, which helps to keep them healthy and prevent gum disease. Brushing and flossing are the most important things that you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Toothpastes contain abrasives, detergents, and foaming agents. Fluoride, the most common active ingredient in toothpaste, is what prevents cavities. So you should always be sure your toothpaste contains fluoride.
About 1 person in 10 has a tendency to accumulate tartar quickly. Tartar is plaque in a hardened form that is more damaging and difficult to remove. Using anti-tartar toothpastes and mouthwashes, as well as spending extra time brushing the teeth near the salivary glands (the inside of the lower front teeth and the outside of the upper back teeth) may slow the development of new tartar.
If you have teeth that are sensitive to heat, cold, and pressure, you may want to try a special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. But you'll still need to talk to your dentist about your sensitivity because it may indicate a more serious problem, such as a cavity or nerve inflammation (irritation).

I agree with that! Maintaining good teeth is imperative for a prolonged and healthy life! If you keep them clean, you can by all means have an extended life. Keep brushing, cleaning and flossing and you by all means can boast of having good oral hygiene. A decaying mouth (gums and teeth included) are an ominous sign. They reflect teeth not being taken care of. Invariably, the system becomes that way and slows down in responding.
