Dental Health = Overall Health
Oral health problems can contribute to various other health problems, including high blood pressure, difficulty managing diabetes, the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, and pregnancy complications. On the other hand, good oral health practices and preventive dental care can benefit overall health. But despite the growing understanding of the relationship between oral health and systemic disease, oral health care often remains siloed from the rest of the health care system.

Medical-dental integration can help build that critical bridge between oral and overall health. It’s an approach to care that integrates dental medicine into primary care and behavioral health. It also promotes the practice of dental providers integrating services such as screenings for chronic diseases into their care. It is a model of care that encourages providers to produce comprehensive care plans for the whole person.

DO WATER FLOSSERS WORK?
Poor oral hygiene may cause bad breath and lead to tooth decay, and other gum-related diseases. One of the preventive measures you might do is by using water flossers. Water flossers are devices used to remove leftover food particles and to reach overlooked areas in our teeth. Some water flossers are battery-operated, and some are electrical. They were both easy to use and budget-friendly. There is nothing wrong in investing in your oral health care. Brushing your teeth alone cannot ensure the cleanliness of your teeth.
