We provide compassionate and comprehensive oral health care with the most up-to-date technology

How important is our oral care to your overall health?

Oral health can affect both your physical and emotional well-being as it can impact upon appearance, interpersonal relations, diet, nutrition and speech.

In addition, a disease of the mouth can affect the rest of the body and is a contributing factor to a number of secondary conditions.

Poor Dental Care Negatively Affects Your Overall Health

The connection between poor dental health and a negative impact on health and various diseases is becoming clearer in recent years. Periodontal diseases, which relate to or affect the structures surrounding and supporting the teeth, increase the risk of several other health conditions.

Here are just a few ways that poor dental status can negatively affect health:

It May Hurt Your Heart

People with gum disease are almost twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease compared to those don't have periodontitis.

Your Memory May Suffer

Some research suggests there may be a tie between poor oral health and an increased risk of dementia.

It Might Impact Your Blood Sugar

People with diabetes are more likely to have periodontal disease than those without diabetes. Poor dental health makes it more difficult to control blood-glucose levels.

It May Affect Your Breathing

Gum disease may increase your risk of getting respiratory infections, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia.

Prevention and treatment of periodontitis require a healthy, nutrient- and antioxidant-rich diet, good lifestyle habits (no smoking or excessive alcohol consumption), and regular, consistent dental care.
