THE MOUTH-BODY CONNECTION
Your Mouth Tells Your Health Story
Growing evidence connects a healthy mouth with a healthy body. Here's what researchers have discovered about oral health and systemic wellness:
High Blood Pressure
- Putting off dental care during early adulthood is linked to an increased risk of high blood pressure.
- Patients with gum disease are less likely to keep their blood pressure under control with medication that are those with good oral health.
Dementia
- Having 10 years of chronic gum disease (periodontitis) is associated with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
- Researchers report that uncontrolled periodontal disease 'could trigger or exacerbate' the neuroinflammatory phenomenon seen in Alzheimer's disease.
Diabetes
- Untreated gum disease makes it harder for people with diabetes to manage their blood glucose levels.
- Diabetes raises the risk of developing gum disease by 86%.
Respiratory Health
- Research shows that improving oral hygiene among medically fragile seniors can reduce the death rate from aspiration pneumonia.
- Patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) who engage in regular toothbrushing spend significantly less time on mechanical ventilation than other VAP patients.
Adverse Birth Outcomes
- Gum disease among pregnant women is associated with preterm births, low birth weight babies and pre-eclampsia — a pregnancy complication that can cause organ damage and be fatal.
Obesity
- Brushing teeth no more than once per day was linked with the development of obesity.
- Frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks raises the risk of both obesity and tooth decay among children and adults.
