If you ask most people what they consider good dental health, the most common response will likely be not having cavities. True it is important not to have a mouth filled with cavities, however, there is much more to consider when understanding good dental health. It is not common for your family doctor to stress the importance of good overall oral health and the effects that your oral health has on your overall health.
Many studies have proven that oral health has a strong correlation to overall health for example conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes are directly associated with the presence and severity of oral health disease.
