At Brunswick Dental, we believe in promoting not just a beautiful smile but also a healthier you. Many people may not realise it, but maintaining good oral health is crucial for overall well-being. In this blog, we’ll explore the significant connections between oral health and overall health, including how oral issues can be linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
Research has shown a strong connection between oral health and heart disease. Poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, which is caused by the build-up of plaque and bacteria in the mouth. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, can result in inflammation and infection of the gums.
When the gums are inflamed, bacteria can enter the bloodstream and travel to the arteries in the heart, causing atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. This condition can lead to blockages, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups can significantly reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
Diabetes and oral health have a bidirectional relationship. People with diabetes are more susceptible to infections, including gum disease. High blood sugar levels can lead to an increase in plaque build-up, which exacerbates gum disease. Additionally, severe gum disease can make it more difficult for individuals with diabetes to control their blood sugar levels.
Managing oral health is especially important for diabetic patients. Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene practices can help prevent gum disease and improve blood sugar control, contributing to better overall diabetes management.
Pregnant women need to pay special attention to their oral health. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase the risk of developing gum disease. Pregnant women should maintain regular dental visits and practice good oral hygiene to prevent gum disease and ensure a healthy pregnancy.
At Brunswick Dental, we encourage the importance of maintaining good oral health to support overall health and well-being. Here are some tips to help you keep your mouth and body healthy:
By prioritising your oral health, you are also taking steps to improve your overall health. At Brunswick Dental, we are dedicated to providing you with the best dental care to support a healthier, happier you. Schedule your next appointment with us today and take a proactive step towards better health!
