The Link Between the Mouth and the Body
New research is available showing how infection from the teeth and gums is directly related to illnesses in the rest of the body.
Bacterial infections in the mouth can be a major factor in the development of several systemic diseases. These new risk factors have disproven the fallacy that the mouth is a separate entity when compared to the entire body. These findings also allow dentists and physicians to join together in treatment modalities for the betterment of their patient’s overall health.
