Absolutely. Oral infections can lead to systemic and serious medical concerns if not treated.
Absolutely
Yes
The ankle bone is connect3d to the shin bone, the shin bones connected to the hip bone, etc. So, yes, what happens in the mouth does not stay in the mouth or you are what you eat!! A healthy mouth and healthy breathing (it's not just the teeth) lead to better bones, less time off for missing school due to dental appts or pain. A high sugar diet leads to over activity and lower growth. Breathing through the nose increases oxygen flow and overall better health.
YES! Oral health absolutely affects the overall health!
