Oral health has an influence on society that is often overlooked. Your mouth can reveal signs of infection or disease before you notice other symptoms, reflecting your overall health. It is a frequently overlooked aspect of health management, but it is critical to your overall health. The consequences of poor dental hygiene can extend far beyond gingivitis. Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, and gum disease in pregnant women can indicate a risk of preterm birth. In addition, almost all systemic diseases have an oral component. This includes illnesses like oral cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease.
