Managing Your Health - Dental Health Links to Chronic Conditions
Event description
Did you know "there is growing evidence that oral inflammatory diseases have an impact on systemic health conditions. Severe gum disease has been associated with cardiovascular disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes, lung conditions, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes" (Australian Dental Association, 2023). This highlights the importance of taking care of your mouth for the health of your entire body.
Join HCCA and Dr Sri Karumuri from the Dental Embassy Lyneham for an overview of how dental health can affect your overall health, and what you can do to keep your mouth and body healthy.
