The mouth-body connection refers to the relationship between your oral health and your overall health. Research shows that issues like gum disease can be linked to various health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. By maintaining good oral hygiene, you can help prevent these conditions and protect your overall health.
Gum disease has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, as bacteria can enter the bloodstream and contribute to inflammation.
Poor oral health can make it harder to control blood sugar levels, making diabetes more difficult to manage.
Gum disease can increase the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight.
Oral bacteria can be inhaled into the lungs, potentially leading to respiratory infections.
