Men’s Health Week: Don’t Overlook Oral Health
This Men’s Health Week, the Dental Health Foundation (DHF) is shining a light on an often-overlooked part of men’s wellbeing: oral health. Studies show that men are less likely than women to visit the dentist regularly, putting them at greater risk for issues like gum disease, tooth loss, and oral cancer.
The mouth is more than just a smile — it can reflect and impact your overall health. Conditions such as heart disease and diabetes are closely linked to oral infections and inflammation.
Simple daily habits like brushing and flossing are essential, but using the right tools also makes a difference. The DHF’s guide, “Men: Choose the Right Tools for Your Teeth,” offers practical tips to help improve your oral hygiene routine.
Regular dental check-ups play a key role in catching problems early and keeping your mouth healthy. This Men’s Health Week, take charge of your oral health — because a healthier mouth means a healthier you.
