Dental Care: Oral Health and Wellness

Picture
Did you know that poor oral health can lead to many seemingly unrelated medical conditions? In fact, oral bacteria and oral disease have been linked to a variety of serious illnesses, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and pregnancy complications.

Importance of Oral Health
The following examples illustrate the relationship between your oral health and general health.
• Tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs affect both your overall and oral health.
• Dry mouth, or a lack of saliva, increases your risk of tooth decay.
• Oral pain resulting in an inability to eat properly can prevent you from getting the nutrition your body needs to stay healthy.

Periodontal Disease
Oral health can often be used to diagnose underlying health issues.
• The advanced form of gum disease, called periodontitis, causes tooth loss and is also sometimes associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke and bacterial pneumonia.
• Pregnant women with periodontitis are at an increased risk for delivering babies that are pre-term and/or have low birth weight.
• Diabetics are more likely to develop periodontitis, and more severe cases of it.
• People who smoke or drink alcohol have an increased risk of periodontitis and other conditions, such as oral cancer.

What This Means to You
Given the potential link between periodontitis and systemic health problems, preventing periodontitis may turn out to be an important step in maintaining your overall health. In most cases, this can be accomplished by practicing good daily oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing and regular seeing a dentist for cleanings. Tell us about changes in your oral health, including any recent illnesses or chronic conditions.

Also provide us with an updated health history, including medication you use—both prescription and over-the-counter.
