There is a game that most of us learned at an early age and the game is called, “Follow the Leader.” The children line up and follow behind the leader trying to mimic the actions of the person in charge. The object of the game is to follow the leader’s actions closely because we all want be become like the leader and be the last man standing.
James Rhode DDS has been a leader in the field of
cosmetic dentistry in the greater
Philadelphia area for the past 30 years. We sat down with this leader to discover what it would take to end up at the head of the line or emulate his near
perfect smile. James Rhode DDS gave us some insight into what is behind the
perfect smile and how it is obtainable for all of us.
Some of the essentials to perfecting the health of our teeth and
gums rely upon regularly scheduled
checkups with the dentist. Still other essentials depend upon our own participation and dental prevention. To prevent
gum disease from ravishing our mouths, we need to be diligent in brushing our teeth and
flossing them. Someone once said, “You should only
floss the teeth you want to keep.”
A healthy mouth also depends upon a healthy diet consisting of the right foods and plenty of fluids. A
dry mouth is the result of a lack of saliva. According to WebMD, “Saliva prevents infection by controlling bacteria and fungi in the mouth.”
During your
dental checkups, the dentist can help you determine the underlying cause of your
dry mouth and what steps you can follow to improve a more normal saliva flow in your mouth. Improving the saliva flow will also prevent illness that can be introduced into your body through bacteria that is left uncontrolled in the mouth.
James Rhode DDS also shared the following, “I will help you make smart decisions about improving the quality of your life. Being healthy and pain free, your smile and laughter can contribute to the healing or other medical and behavioral problems.”
Dental prevention can also promote an overall wellness for your entire body.
