Oral Health and Overall Health

Many people are starting to learn about how oral health affects overall health, but just how much can improving your dental care help your immune system? At a landmark meeting, dentists spoke at the American Diabetes Association's 68th Annual Scientific Sessions. While they held the floor, the dentists spoke about the links found between periodontal disease and Diabetes:

The meeting served as a wonderful opportunity for dentists to discuss oral health considerations with physicians and other members of the health care team," Dr. Meyer said. "As we gain more knowledge on the relationships of oral health conditions to general health, it is imperative that our respective professions engage in meaningful dialogue to improve oral and general health outcomes for the patients we serve. Hopefully, this is the first of many opportunities we will have for the two ADAs to work together to achieve common goals."
