Mouth-Body Connection
Great Health Starts in Your Mouth
Many diseases start in the mouth! As incredible as it may seem, most of the chronic and infectious illnesses that trouble our society today are influenced by the health of our mouths.
Our mouths are a reflection of the health inside our bodies. If you have poor dental health, you are bound to have other health problems. Despite regular brushing and flossing, approximately 90 percent of the population has some degree of gum disease or decay. Most people aren’t aware they have existing dental problems.
Recent research has demonstrated a direct link between oral healthand chronic illness. Simply improving the health of your teeth and gumscan cure many chronic problems.
Poor dental health can speed up the progression of kidney disease, cause dementia, and play a role in heart disease, heart attack, stroke, frequents colds, flu's, acne, and general malaise. Research has clearly shown a strong link between periodontal disease and chronic overall health conditions like diabetes, heart disease,respiratory disease, and pregnancy complications. Periodontal disease is the chronic irritation and inflammation of the gums, tissues below the gum line, and the presence of bacteria that cause diseases in and around the mouth. Stopping periodontal disease from progressing and maintaining excellent oral hygiene can reduce the chance of gum disease and bone loss while also reducing the risk of other serious illnesses.
