• Cardiovascular disease
People with dental conditions may face an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Although the exact mechanism of association is still unknown, inflammation and bacterial infection are thought to play a role in this association.
• Respiratory infections
Bacteria in the mouth can enter the respiratory tract through inhalation or swallowing, causing respiratory infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis.
• Diabetes
There is a correlation between dental disease and diabetes. People with diabetes are more likely to have periodontal disease, and in turn, people with periodontal disease may have more trouble controlling their blood sugar.
• Immune system issues
Dental disease can lead to decreased immune system function, affecting the fight against other diseases and infections.
