Hi, I'm Dr. Delgado. I just wanted to say a few words about a topic that has been very popular in the media lately: the correlation between oral health and overall health.
What is the correlation between oral health and overall health?
There have been many articles coming out, highlighting the significant connection between the condition of your mouth, especially gum disease, and your overall health. People who have gum disease usually have a lot of bacteria, and that bacteria has been shown to increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and Alzheimer's. It's really important to come in, get your mouth evaluated, and take care of your oral health to live a long and prosperous life. They say that people with gum disease tend to live about 10 years less than those who have a healthy mouth. You can find articles related to this on our website, delgatdentalgroup.com. I recommend you give us a call and come in for an oral evaluation.
