What is the oral systemic health connection?
One of the most unusual and unfortunate occurrences in the history of healthcare was the separation of the medical and dental industries. It is unusual because (obviously) the mouth is part of the body. It is not some separate, isolated entity. It is unfortunate because this division has led some to mistakenly assume that oral health problems do not affect the rest of the body. The truth is, you cannot be totally healthy without a healthy mouth!
