Many people know the importance of going to the dentist, but still don't take advantage of the dental services available to them. West Jordan Family Dentist is a local dentist location that services community in dentist care and oral health for everyone in the family.

Last month I took my one year old to the dentist with me for dental and health services. He had his first dentist visit! He kept looking at the dentist with this weird look, like why are you putting that nasty tasting glove in my mouth. My son clamped down his mouth to impede the dentist from looking in his oral cavity. However, because of the pediatric dentistry training my dentist was able to connect with my one year old son and have a look around at my sons oral health and newly grown ten teeth. Because of his pediatric dentistry training along with the general dentistry certification, my dentist was able to tell me a little more about how to care for my son's new set of teeth and let me know what dental health hazards to watch for.

On the other hand, my husband hates dentist visits! I think it's normal for most guys to care less about oral health care and that dreaded visit to the dentist. I decided to make a dental appointment for him while I was there receiving dental services with my son. I decided to do make this dentist appointment for him when my dentist asked how my husband was doing and his health issue came up. I mentioned to my dentist the heart problems and needed health services my husband was having. The dentist mentioned how dentistry studies are finding more and more connections of poor oral health affecting the over-all health of the internal organs. My dentist expressed real concern for my husband and a willingness to help in any way to improve my husbands oral health.

My dentist is aware that my husband never grew up with regular dentist visits and dentistry health services. The first time my husband and I received dental services together, the dentist had to put him out because he had years of tartar build-up to remove which actually took a few visits to the dentist to complete a total oral health care cleaning. This didn't help my husband to look forward to the next dentist visit, of course. But, he's realizing more the need for good oral care assisted by two visits to the dentist every year. I'm proud to say that my husband is now flossing more often and brushing his teeth more often with his new-found awareness for dental health.

Last time we were at the dentist office our dentist showed us how to brush and floss properly to improve oral health. Did you know that good oral health includes using a soft bristle toothbrush? Did you know that good oral health includes brushing in small circular motions rather than rubbing your toothbrush back and forth? Our dentist said that brushing too hard and rapidly can erode your gums which is counter-active in oral health care. Also, our dentist instructed, that flossing is necessary to cleaning your entire oral cavity. The dentist staff showed us how to floss properly to improve the health of our gums and thus improve the over-all need for health services. Dentist visits are part of important health services as they instruct and promote better health care. Bad Oral Health Wreaks Havoc on Internal Organ Health
