Dental care is for more than just your teeth and gums; it’s for your whole body! Dental problems and bad oral hygiene can significantly affect your overall health. For example, bacteria from a patient’s mouth can get into his or her bloodstream and cause infection or inflammation. Other health conditions that can develop from bad oral health include cardiovascular disease, dementia, respiratory infections, diabetes, and several others. Don’t let your oral health fall by the wayside; see Dr. Mark Donahue in
