Several recent studies have shown that dental disease is related to heart disease, stroke, and many other illnesses. If you’re healthy, don’t forget to thank your teeth and gums!

Your breath!

Having pleasant breath is certainly an asset socially and professionally, and excellent dental health is one of the biggest factors in having a clean smelling mouth. So let’s be thankful for fresh breath. And if your breath is a bit stinky, be thankful for a close friend or relative who will let you know!

Your teeth!

Without your teeth you couldn’t bite and chew delicious food, speak clearly, smile broadly, or nibble on your best friend. And people with healthy teeth live longer!

Your tongue!

Sure – when you were a kid it was fun to stick your tongue out at people. But even if you no longer do that, that very strong muscle on the floor of your mouth helps to chew food and taste those delicious (and hopefully healthy) things that you are eating.
