  • When you think of teeth, you probably think about a smile, but your teeth and gums play a far more significant role than contributing to your overall appearance. KYW medical editor Dr. Brian McDonough has more.

The article from MSN highlights the significant role that dental care plays in overall health, as detailed in a recent medical report. It discusses how poor oral health can lead to various systemic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and respiratory infections. The report emphasizes the importance of regular dental check-ups, proper oral hygiene practices, and the potential for oral bacteria to enter the bloodstream, causing inflammation and other health issues. It also touches on the bidirectional relationship between oral health and conditions like diabetes, where each can exacerbate the other. The article advocates for increased awareness and integration of dental care into general healthcare to prevent and manage these health risks effectively.
