As any good dentist for kids will tell you, it’s best to develop good oral hygiene habits early in life. But if you missed that chance or have grown lax over the years, it’s never too late to start taking good care of your mouth, and the benefits of doing so can be tremendous. Here are some of them.

## Items

### 1. [Benefit #1 - Stay out of the dental work treadmill](https://listium.com/@smilecaredental/59909/top-3-reasons-to-take-care-of-your-oral-health/0/benefit-1-stay-out-of-the-dental-work-treadmill)

- Notes:
  > This isn’t discussed very often, but dental work is rarely permanent. Your average dental implant has an estimated lifespan ranging from 5 to 20 years, and many types of dental work increase your chances of developing certain issues in the future.
  > 
  > The result is that dental work leads to more dental work, which can become a constant drain on your health, patience, and wallet.

### 2. [Benefit #2 - Save money](https://listium.com/@smilecaredental/59909/top-3-reasons-to-take-care-of-your-oral-health/1/benefit-2-save-money)

- Notes: Since dental work leads to more dental work, getting stuck in that loop can cost you a lot of money across your lifetime.

### 3. [Benefit #3 - Preserve your health](https://listium.com/@smilecaredental/59909/top-3-reasons-to-take-care-of-your-oral-health/2/benefit-3-preserve-your-health)

- Notes:
  > Gum diseases and other oral health issues can have a big impact on your overall health. That’s because your mouth can provide bacteria with an access point to other areas in your body. Bacteria result from gum diseases, for example, often find their way into the patient’s bloodstream, increasing the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases.
  > 
  > All of this is to say that nothing beats prevention when it comes to taking care of your oral health. It’s also important to stay important on proper oral health procedures, especially if you are a parent, since you’ll have more mouths to help take care of. This \[Smile Care Dental\](https://www.smilecaredental.ca/kids-dentist) guide has some useful information in that area.
