One Very Important Link Between Your Eyes and Teeth?
Did you know that teeth are one of the very first things people notice in a potential partner? Valentine’s Day is coming soon, so make sure to visit your dentist and optometrist because keep in mind…
Healthy eyes and clear vision are needed to see someone’s teeth.
“Eat your carrots! They’re good for your eyes!” Parents and grandparents around the world use these words to try and encourage children to eat their vegetables. But carrots really can be good for your eyesight.
While they can’t restore vision loss or make structural changes to the eye, carrots are good for vision health since they’re rich in vitamin A (deficiencies of which can lead to blindness, cataracts, and macular degeneration) and the antioxidant lutein. Carrots are also good for your teeth, acting as a natural abrasive to eliminate plaque, stimulate saliva production, and kill germs in your mouth.
Deterioration in vision not only comes from age or illness, but it can also be exacerbated by tooth decay, gum disease, and mercury fillings. The incidence of age-related eye diseases is expected to increase from 28 million to 43 million by the year 2020, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. And the health of your teeth and gums will impact where you fit on that spectrum.
Another thing people will notice right away about someone who wears glasses besides teeth is their eyes. For this reason, it’s so important that your eyewear tells people something about you….
