Today, people are more aware of their oral health and they try to choose a myriad of dental products. Some products are very harmful as they are filled with chemicals that can also affect your overall health. Many dental products damage the enamel of the teeth and that is why it becomes very important to choose the right products.
Studies show that many health-related issues occur due to bad oral health. Swollen, bleeding gums, and serious gum problems directly hit our heart, blood sugar levels, and respiratory system. Gums-related issues turn very serious as bacteria that are growing in the gums can go directly into the bloodstream and start infecting other parts of the body and the first part it targets is your heart.
Poor oral health can lead to cardiovascular diseases, complications in pregnancy, pneumonia, and many other serious health problems. Now the question arises what exactly affects your oral health? The major reasons behind poor oral health are a bad diet which is also high in sugar, a stressful lifestyle, the use of products like tobacco, and cigarettes, and the high use of alcohol and other caffeinated drinks. Sometimes genetics is a very common factor in bad oral health and some medical conditions like HIV/ AIDS, prostate cancer, and Alzheimer's also affect oral health.
