Good dental care is important for both young and old. A healthy mouth is important for eating good food. It can be a mirror of a person’s general health, and symptoms in the mouth can even be signs of other problems. Despite the importance of oral health, it is often neglected. But it’s not just about gingivitis. Poor dental hygiene can cause complications that go far beyond gingivitis. It has been found that gum disease may be a precursor to heart disease. It may also increase the risk of preterm delivery in pregnant women. Most systemic diseases have a dental component, including kidney and diabetes.
