Dental Health and Sex

Your dental health can have an effect on your sexual relationships. If your teeth are unhealthy this does not mean you cannot get into a relationship, but you may be a lot happier in your relationship if your dental health is not an issue.

It is important to brush your teeth at least daily, floss, and visit a dentist regularly. Your dental health matters. If you have cavities, they need to be fixed. Teeth need to be straightened, and sore gums need to be treated accordingly.

Poor dental health creates a bad odor that minimizes opportunities for intimacy.

Poor dental health can lead to depression. It can make you miserable as you are often in pain. This, obviously, is not good for your relationship, personal development, or positive sexual health. Of course, if you are in that much pain, it is understandable to see why you do not want to think about or even care about sex in the first place.

The better you take care of yourself, the more confidence you have. Your self-esteem is increased. You are happier. As a result, your interaction with others is often more positive. You enjoy spending time with others. You are not grumpy and grouchy. Your enthusiasm makes you more attractive to others. Your relationship is affected for the better.

If you like to bite and nibble during sex you may care about your teeth. If you do not have any teeth left, because you have not taken care of them, then you do not have any teeth to tease against your lovers flesh. This is just one of the more obvious benefits of having optimum dental health.

There are also mental and social benefits that help with personal development, which accompany positive dental health practices. If you brush your teeth regularly, and your teeth shine then you can be positive. You are more likely to smile more. Smiling has been proven to help increase your mood. If you simply do not feel comfortable without teeth in your mouth or with rotten teeth you are not gaining any benefits from always frowning instead.

Lack of proper dental health care can also lead to health problems. When your teeth rot they can rot down to the root. Sometimes this causes serious infections in your mouth. If these infections are not treated the infection can damage the immune system. It can carry over to other parts of your body. It can make you very sick and that is definitely not good for any type of personal development. Ultimately, it can just cause more problems.

When you are looking for ways to improve your relationship, consider improving your dental health. While it is not the most conventional way to improve a relationship, the confidence you feel can help. Mood increases, increased pleasure, and the desire to be happy are just a few of the benefits you can gain, and the only negative might be the bill you might have to pay the dentist. In the end, that fee should be worth it.
