Dental health is directly connected to your overall health.
Researchers are finding more reasons why you should be brushing and flossing regularly. A healthy mouth decreases your risk of getting medical disorders. An unhealthy mouth, especially if you have gum disease, may increase your risk of serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, poorly controlled diabetes and preterm labor.
Five Ways Your Oral Health Affects Your Overall Health:
1. Those that have diabetes are more likely to have gum disease. It is proven that if you struggle with gum disease, you may have a harder time controlling your blood sugar levels.
2. Routine X-rays taken by your dentist can reveal periodontal bone density and tooth loss, which may be an early indication of osteoporosis.
3. Oral health is connected to your heart health. If your mouth produces an influx of bacteria, it can affect your immune system. The inflammation caused by the bacteria can affect your entire vascular system which can lead to heart disease.
4. White, yellow or brown spots and grooves or pitting on the enamel surfaces of your teeth may indicate intestinal disease.
5. Mouth ulcers are crater-like sores that appear inside the mouth. They are often signs of stress, hormone imbalance, allergies or a nutritional deficiency.
