Why is it very important to maintain healthy teeth and gums and commit to your daily oral hygiene? It’s because there is a significant link between your mouth and your body, and this is supported by various studies. What happens inside your mouth will have an effect on your overall health.

Poor oral hygiene can lead to a build-up of harm dental plaque, which can eventually result in tooth decay and gum disease. Unhealthy teeth can cause various health issues such as:

• Increased risk of respiratory infections like COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary) and pneumonia
• Contribute to the type of degeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease
• Increased risk of chronic kidney diseases among toothless adults
• Heart problems (such as endocarditis and other functional irregularities)
• Increased likelihood of pancreatic cancer due to advanced gum disease
• Unhealthy skin and older appearance caused by gum recession and bone loss

If you start establishing good dental hygiene habits today, you can prevent all these health problems later in the future. Encourage yourself, your children and your family to visit your dental team regularly and practice good dental care always. Doing so will not only protect your teeth and your smile. It can even save your life!
