Your Mouth Can Make You Sick!
How Conditions in the Body are Related
To Conditions in the Mouth

For many years dentists have observed that illnesses and conditions of the mouth, gums and teeth are directly related to illnesses and conditions in the rest of the body. Research is now providing ample evidence to back this up. Your patients need to understand how their oral health is related to their general health. Diabetes, heart disease, and even premature, low birth weight infants can be influenced by periodontal and other oral conditions. Now, more than ever, oral health is vital, and it is up to dentists, hygienists and staff to help patients understand why. This brochure can help.

Presented in easy-to-understand terms, this 8-panel, full color, glossy, brochure covers:

• How periodontal disease and inflammation are related to diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

• How problems in pregnancy outcomes have been associated with gum and bone disease.

• How inflammation in the mouth can affect general health.

• What coverage, if any, medical or dental insurance may offer.

Written by Carol Tekavec RDH, nationally known insurance columnist, consultant to the ADA Council on Dental Practice, and practicing dental hygienist.
