What Are the Dangers of Poor Dental Hygiene?

  • Dr. Karen Ho
  • Dental Hygiene
Dental Hygiene and Health in Hamilton Ontario Area

Oral health is much more than just healthy teeth and gums. Since your mouth is the entryway into the body, oral health problems can harm your overall health. Therefore, dental health and proper oral hygiene are essential. The typical indicators of poor oral health are bleeding gums, toothache, and bad breath. Dentistry on Parkdale, located in Hamilton, Ontario, specializing in dental hygiene and health, prepared a list of risks of poor dental hygiene you should know about:

Risks Of Poor Dental Hygiene

Here is a list of the most common health problems caused by improper oral hygiene:

  • Cardiovascular disease. The bacteria in the mouth causing periodontal disease can also get into the bloodstream and cause the arteries to build up plaque. The arteries can harden, which often leads to atherosclerosis. As a result, the risk of getting a heart attack is higher.
  • Dementia. Poor oral health can also affect the brain. Inflamed gums release substances that can kill brain cells and cause memory loss.
  • Diabetes. The periodontal disease does not only cause diabetes but also makes it difficult to control. Sugar levels can increase because of gum disease, leading to diabetes, even if a person had not had it before.
  • Infertility. Various studies have revealed that there is a link between poor oral hygiene and infertility. It may be more difficult for women who have oral issues to conceive.
  • Kidney disease. A chronic kidney disorder is a severe health issue that harms kidneys, bones, and increases blood pressure. Statistically, people who suffer from dental problems and poor oral health also suffer from kidney disease.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis. The results of several studies have revealed that people with periodontal disease are four times more likely to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis.
