ORAL HEALTH
Oral health is about so much more than just the health of the mouth, teeth, and gums. Because the mouth is a primary entryway into the body, poor oral health can have negative consequences for the entire body. Teeth that ache, gums that bleed, and breath that smells bad are all indicators of poor oral health. Bacteria from the mouth can easily get into the bloodstream and cause infection and inflammation wherever it spreads. It is important to practice good oral hygiene and to see your dentist regularly in order to avoid serious risk to the body’s overall health. Here are some common and serious health problems caused by bad oral health:
✍Cardiovascular Disease. Having poor oral health puts a person at risk for heart disease.
✍Dementia. Poor oral health can affect the brain
✍Respiratory Infections
✍Diabetes
✍Pregnancy Complications
✍Infertility
✍Erectile Dysfunction
✍Mouth Cancer.
In general take your oral health serious and visit your dentist regularly.
