Oral hygiene plays an essential role in preventing not only oral diseases, but also many systemic illnesses. Poor oral hygiene encourages the build-up of bacterial plaque and the development of infections such as caries and periodontal disease. These infections can allow the passage of bacteria and inflammatory mediators into the bloodstream, contributing to the onset or aggravation of systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory infections and certain pregnancy complications. Good oral hygiene, combined with regular visits to the dentist, is therefore a key factor in overall health and well-being.
