As we already know that diet and exercise are essential for staying healthy. But did you know that a healthy mouth is also a necessary part of a healthy body?
Oral health issues can affect the quality of life. Oral pain, missing teeth, or mouth infections can affect how to talk, eat and behave in society. These oral health problems can reduce a person’s quality of life because they change their physical, mental and social well-being.
Oral diseases, like other diseases, need to be treated. Chronic infection, including in the mouth, is a severe problem that should not be taken lightly. However, bleeding and gum pain is often overlooked.
As per many types of research, there is a link between oral diseases and other health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke, respiratory diseases in the elderly, as well as premature births and premature births. Although researchers are only beginning to understand these links, there is evidence that oral diseases can exacerbate other health problems and that oral health is an essential component of healthy living.
