Dentist Tips: Overall Health Affects Your Oral Health, and Vice Versa


The word “oral” refers to anything that relates to the mouth. This includes your gums, tongue, jawbone, supporting tissues, and most of all, your teeth. That said, good oral health doesn’t only mean you have shiny white, perfectly aligned teeth—you likewise need to ensure that the rest of your mouth is well-taken care of as well. After all, oral health affects your entire body, so maintaining good oral health is essential to the maintenance of your total well-being. Conversely speaking, your oral health condition may also be indicative of your body’s overall condition. Many diseases like diabetes, malnutrition, and cancer can cause oral health problems such as mouth sores, periodontitis, gingivitis, and even tooth loss. For people afflicted with disease and other health conditions, regular visits to a dentist in Guelph are a must.

  1. I agree that we should not only care about our white teeth but also the overall health of our mouth - tongue, teeth, gums and cheeks. This is the first advice given to me by my Makati dentist at http://www.esteticomanila.com/.
