Oral Health

Taking care of your teeth and gums is an important part of maintaining overall health and wellbeing.

Conditions connected to poor oral 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.
