Oral health not only means a charming smile. Poor oral health and untreated oral diseases and conditions can have a major impact on quality of life. In many cases, the condition of the mouth reflects the condition of the entire body. Recent reports indicate that there is a relationship between periodontal (gingival) disease and stroke, heart disease, and preterm low birth weight infants. Similarly, more than 90% of systemic diseases have oral performance, which means that your dentist may be the first health care provider to diagnose a health problem.
