JAWS & DENTAL CARE

Dental care has extended millions of lives worldwide
by saving billions of teeth
that support the jaws and keep airways open.

Until about 150 years ago, dental infection from decayed and abscessed teeth, was a main cause of death. This changed when dentists and dental care became more available and affordable. Treating tooth decay significantly reduced dangerous and deadly dental infections.

Save your teeth and save or extend your life! Research shows how vital the teeth, jaws and airway are to your health. When choosing dental care, patients and doctors should keep in mind the main goal, which is to save teeth, keep jaws supported and keep the airways open.

Going to the dentist can be something you want to do. Good dental care and good dental function can lead to a healthier, happier and longer life.
