The phrase
"Watch Your Mouth!" has many connotations, but did you know that taking a seat in the dentist's chair goes far beyond maintaining a healthy smile? Our mouths are the gateways to our bodies and can tell us more about our health than we may think. Not caring for our teeth can lead to periodontal (gum) disease, which has become all too common in our country, with one in every two Americans suffering from some form of gum disease. The inflammation caused by gum disease can be linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pancreatic cancer and preterm birth. Research also suggests that oral bacteria may be linked to heart disease, arterial blockages and stroke!
