The link between oral and overall well-being isn’t symbolic – it’s physical. The mouth is both the primary pathway into the body and an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive. There are up to six million bacteria present in a typical person’s mouth. Most are harmless, or at least well-controlled by the body’s natural defenses – if good oral hygiene is practiced. But if that becomes a problem, bacteria can multiply, enter the bloodstream, and spread to other parts of the body.
Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory ailments, and even Alzheimer’s disease. Untreated dental caries (tooth decay) in permanent teeth is the most common health condition worldwide. Even simple cavities can lead to loss of appetite, decreased focus, depression, and death.
Preventative dental care helps maintain good oral health and can help prevent many oral conditions from developing.
