Dental health affects our body

Did you know that unhealthy teeth can also make the entire organism sick?

Teeth are not an individual, isolated unit in our body, but are deeply and closely linked to the rest of the organism. This means that unhealthy teeth and inflamed gums can damage the entire body, as our teeth are connected to the entire body via nerves and blood vessels.

In the case of long-term and untreated caries/periodontitis, bacteria and their toxins can migrate throughout the entire body and cause various problems. In particular, if the immune system is already weak, such as in sick or elderly people, the bacteria from the mouth can exert their harmful effects even more easily.

For more than 4000 years, Chinese medicine has assumed that every tooth is closely connected to a specific organ. Naturopathy discovered this principle for itself a long time ago. Thus, if a specific tooth is damaged, the corresponding organ and body part is also increasingly stressed and can cause disease signals.

A list of diseases and problems that can be caused by bad teeth and periodontitis:

Bladder and prostate infections
Heart attacks and strokes
Premature births
Depression
Pneumonia and heart infections
Diabetes
Headaches and migraines
Erectile dysfunction

Good dental and oral health are an essential prerequisite for the health of our body and its organs. To achieve this, daily and proper dental care is essential and of course regular professional teeth cleaning and preventive examinations with your dentist.
