1. From the moment you start growing teeth, you commence a daily routine of ensuring your dental health is not compromised. For most people, 2ce a day everyday, a dental health routine is followed for maximum protection & as preventive measure to but dental health problems at bay

2. After a while, the daily dental health routine is complimented with diet that assist the promotion of dental health & we avoid certain foods/habits that have the tendency to put our dental health at risk.

Also, we are advised to see a dental health professional 2ce a year!

3. Seeing this dental health professional doesn& #39;t mean there& #39;s something wrong, it is just part of the practise to ensure that decay is detected early and promptly dealt with; cos with dental health, it is a matter of when, not if!

Is there any shame in seeing a professional?

4. If the dental health professional detects any issue, solutions range widely from simple diet adjustment to need for more drastic action involving medication & periodic checks.

Sometimes, these may even be genetic or aggravated by the environment.

Either way, there& #39;s no shame

5. And sometimes, we see the dental health professional just for peace of mind.

That you don& #39;t follow daily dental health routines, diet or have never seen a dental health professional doesn& #39;t mean you don& #39;t have issues, just means when they manifest, it& #39;lll be sudden & extreme

6. So friends, please since this is MENTAL HEALTH week, read the tweets again and replace dental health with MENTAL HEALTH, it& #39;s EXACTLY the same thing.

Taking care of your mind is a very deliberate effort & if you have never or are ignorant on how to, see a professional...ASAP
