Mouth-Body Connection

Your mouth-body connection is the gateway to your health. The oral-systemic link tells us how teeth diseases affect your whole body (and vice versa).

The human microbiome begins in the mouth and continues through your digestive system. It sounds crazy, but bacteria in the digestive system can affect the health of your teeth.

The mouth-body connection also shows us the problems caused by oxygen deprivation. The first sign of a lack of oxygen may be seen in your dental health. Sleep disorders, snoring causes, sleep apnea symptoms and a blocked sinus can all begin in the mouth.

The oral-systemic link shows how teeth diseases, healthy digestion and sleep disorders all begin with the same problem. Everything starts with your dental health.
