Oral health affects overall health
Dentistry as public health intervention
Brush your teeth twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste.
Problems in the mouth don’t just stay there. When oral health issues develop, they can have a major impact on other systems in your body. Chronic oral infection, like periodontitis, is a risk factor for systemic disease, including cardiovascular diseases, peripheral arterial disease, respiratory diseases and low birth weight. Oral disease can also cause problems with eating, speaking and learning – and can affect your social life, academic performance and career. Good oral health practices can help prevent more serious illness and disease. At OneWorld, our dental teams are here to listen and work with you on a plan to prevent future issues, and treat problems when they arise.
Clean between your teeth daily using tools like dental floss, water floss, interdental brushes or toothpicks.
