How oral health impacts overall health is a question which baffles a lot of people.
Dr. Veejay Deshpandey, renowned dental care expert with over 40 years of experience and one of the best dentists in Thane, explains that oral health is essential to general health and well-being at every stage of life.
If regularly cleaned and brushed, your oral cavity does not cause any harm to your health but if neglected, following are the health conditions that can be linked to dental health-
Endocarditis-
Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart that occurs when bacteria from another part of your body such as your oral cavity spread through your bloodstream and attach themselves to the damaged and infected areas in your heart.
Dementia-
The bacteria from gingivitis and puffy gums may enter the brain either through the bloodstream or via the nerve channels in the head. This may lead to dementia or to Alzheimer’s disease.
Diabetes-
Research has shed light on the fact that people who have gum disease have a tough time controlling their blood sugar levels. Regular dental care can improve control of blood sugar.
Respiratory diseases-
If you have harmful bacteria present in your oral cavity, you are at a higher risk of inhaling those bacteria and contracting lung infections like pneumonia. So, it is highly critical to take care of your teeth and gums if you wish to avoid respiratory infections.
With the right procedure and proper care, no dental problem is incurable. Dr. Veejay Deshpandey, with his vast experience and expertise, ensures that all the dental services are carried out painlessly. To know more contact us today.
