Oral Health

The Surprising Connection Between Oral & Overall Health

Poor oral health has a proven link to:

Heart disease: Oral bacteria can affect the heart when entering the blood stream, as they attach to fatty plaques in blood vessels, helping to form clots.

Diabetes: Periodontal disease can make it harder for diabetics to control their blood sugar levels, among other issues.

Pregnancy problems: Studies have shown that pregnant women with periodontal disease may be at risk of having a premature, low-birthweight baby.
