Oral health has an impact on your life in ways that are frequently overlooked. Your mouth can reflect your overall health, revealing signs of infection or disease before you notice other symptoms. It's an often-overlooked aspect of health management, but it's critical to your overall health. The consequences of a lack of dental care can go far beyond gingivitis. Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, and gum disease can also indicate a risk of preterm childbirth in pregnant women. Furthermore, nearly all systemic diseases have an oral component. This includes conditions such as oral cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease.
