Consider what you eat - but also get rid of oral bacteria that release volatile sulfur compounds by brushing & flossing. #halitosis #oralhealth Garlic and onions are two of my favorite foods — I have been known to eat roasted garlic cloves like candy — so it’s no surprise that I often find myself surreptitiously smelling my breath and wincing. Studies on the prevalence of bad breath are hard to come by, but research has estimated that up to half of all Americans have been c

Researchers found an association between the oral #microbiota and the risk of #hypertension in people who have experienced menopause.

The association between #oralhealth and systemic disease has been established for some time. Medical research has pointed to a link between health conditions such as #diabetes and #cardiovascular disease and #periodontal disease. What’s still debatable though is how #oral bacteria can have such an impact on the oral cavity that it could lead to health conditions in other parts of the body.

While we lamented closed shops and salons, many of us also glossed over missed appointments with our physicians and —our dentists. The COVID-19 pandemic may have placed a spotlight on health, however physical restrictions resulted in missed dental

Researchers found a causal link between tooth loss and functional capacity in older adults. Tooth loss was also associated with a decline in social activity. The study published in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society, analysed dat
