Most people would be shocked to learn that poor oral hygiene can
have devastating affects far beyond bad breath and stained teeth. Serious
medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and birth problems
have all been associated with poor oral health!
Dentist Dr Georgious V. Sotiropoulos (BDS- Syd Uni), founder of
‘The Dentist’ dental practice in Mosman believes that oral hygiene needs to be
put back on everyone’s priority list, especially considering the medical
conditions it can lead to. “It is likely that there is a significant number of
people of all ages, who currently have tooth decay due to poor oral hygiene,”
says Dr Georgious.
It’s a wonder people have such poor oral health, when simple steps
(which are second nature to most) such as brushing your teeth, are easy ways to
improve oral hygiene. Yet recent studies by the State of Victoria
Department of Health show that dental admissions are the highest cause of acute
preventable hospital admissions and oral health is also the second-most
expensive disease group in Australia. Even more shockingly, tooth decay is
still over five times more prevalent than asthma among children.
The State of Victoria Department of Health identified cost
barriers and expensive dental bills as the main contributing factor to the
current fall in oral hygiene. Dr. Georgious believes good dental practice is a
learned routine adults need to ensure is passed onto their children. And a cost
effective way to tackle oral hygiene for the whole family is with White Glo
products.
The White Glo range includes a Day and Night package which is
especially formulated to improve oral health with toothpaste variants to
address the different needs of your teeth throughout the day and night. White
Glo products also have the added benefit of an in-built whitening formula to
tackle stains caused by sugary foods and dark liquids.
The White Glo Extra Strength Professional Choice Whitening Toothpaste
is still rated no.1 by Choice Magazine in Australia!
