What is your Mouth Saying about your Overall Health.
There are many studies that link poor oral health care to higher risks for over all health care problems.  However studies are also showing that poor nutrition can affect the entire immune system, which increases susceptibility to many common disorders. People with lowered immune systems have been shown to be at higher risk for gum disease (periodontal disease). Additionally, research shows a link between oral health and systemic conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
