The Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Health

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider highlights the important connection between oral health and overall systemic health, emphasizing how issues in the mouth can impact the entire body. Learn how maintaining good oral hygiene can support your overall well-being and schedule your free consultation today.

Research has shown that there are significant links between oral health and overall systemic health. The mouth plays a crucial role in the body, as everything we consume passes through the oral cavity first. If the oral cavity is not functioning properly, it can contribute to broader health issues. For example, difficulties with chewing can affect digestion, potentially leading to gastrointestinal problems.

Maintaining good oral health is not just important for your teeth and gums but also for your overall well-being. Poor oral health has been linked to various systemic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues. That’s why it’s essential to prioritize your oral hygiene and seek care when needed to help support your overall health.

We are here to assist you in maintaining optimal oral health, which plays a vital role in supporting your overall health. If you have any questions or concerns, we are happy to help you keep your mouth—and your body—healthy.
