2. The Link Between Oral Health and Systemic Diseases

Did you know your oral health is connected to your overall health? Poor oral hygiene can contribute to conditions like:

🦷 Heart Disease – Gum disease has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular problems.
🦷 Diabetes – Uncontrolled diabetes can worsen gum disease, and vice versa.
🦷 Respiratory Infections – Bacteria from the mouth can travel to the lungs, increasing the risk of pneumonia.

Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are not just about a bright smile—they protect your overall well-being.
