Covid-19 has highlighted the importance of our health, say Drayton dentists

Drayton Dental Care near Norwich recommends regular visits with your dentist and hygienist to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums and avoid costly, more complex treatments in the long term.

During the coronavirus lockdown by far and away the people who contacted us with dental emergencies, such as severe toothache or facial swelling, were non patients or people who did not attend as regularly as recommended.

What this pandemic has taught us all is that looking after our health is vitally important. And our gums provide a good indication of our general health – after all, healthy gums reflect a healthy body.

Research has found that serious gum disease is linked to medical conditions, such as arthritis, heart disease, bacterial lung infections, dementia, strokes, diabetes and problems with pregnancy, including premature births and low birthweight babies. So, it is really important you take good care of them.

A staggering 80 per cent of us suffer from gum disease at some point in our lives but with good dental care the risks can be easily controlled.
