The Mouth-Body Connection
Oral and Systemic Health
Research has recently proven what dentists have long suspected, that there is a strong connection between Periodontal Disease and many other chronic conditions such as: Periodontal disease is characterized by inflammation of the gum tissue, presence of disease-causing bacteria, and infection below the gum line. Infections and bacteria in the mouth can spread throughout the body and lead to a host of problematic health issues. Therefore, maintaining excellent oral hygiene and reducing the progression of periodontal disease through treatment will have benefits beyond preventing gum disease and bone loss.
