Is Exercise Able to Improve Oral Health?
Posted on 8/20/2018 by Posh Dental
Is Exercise Able to Improve Oral Health?Most of us know the importance of exercise when it comes to maintaining healthy muscles and bones.

However, few of us understand the benefits to the oral health when you exercise regularly. Identifying how your mouth can benefit from regular exercise may inspire you to increase your physical activity level.

Exercise Reduces Inflammation


One of the major ways that exercise improves your oral health is by reducing inflammation. When inflammation is reduced in the gums, the incidence of periodontal disease will also lower. In fact, a recent study from Case Western Reserve University found that people who engaged in regular exercise were 16% less likely to have gum disease when compared to people who did not exercise regularly.

Additionally, combining exercise with eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight decreased the periodontal disease risk by 40%.

Burn Off Extra Carbohydrates


Excess carbohydrates, starches, and sugars contribute to cavities and tooth decay. When you exercise regularly, you'll help to keep the blood sugar in check and will burn off these dangerous substances faster. In addition to improving your oral health, burning off extra carbs will help you to maintain a healthy weight.

Improved Blood Circulation


Regular exercise is great for the circulatory system. It helps your blood to circulate through the body, allowing nutrients and oxygen to reach the tissues effectively. This means that the blood-rich gums and teeth will receive the nutrients that they need to stay healthy. This will likely reduce your risk of many oral health problems.

Even if you exercise regularly, you still need to monitor your oral health and take care to brush and floss regularly. Periodic evaluations with your dentist are also a necessity to ensure your teeth and gums remain in optimal health. Call us today to set up your next dental cleaning.
