Oral Systemic Connection

The mouth is a doorway into the body's well-being. The health of the mouth goes hand in hand with the health of the body. Our mouth contains bacteria like other parts of the body, but they are mostly harmless bacteria. These bacteria can still enter the stomach and respiratory tract from the mouth and may cause diseases.
