Good oral health is a lot more than just keeping your teeth clean and your breath smelling fresh.
In fact, failing to keep on top of it could actually be damaging your overall health, increasing your risk of developing serious health conditions including dementia or even suffering a stroke.
According to a recent study presented at the American Stroke Association International Stroke Conference 2023, adults who are genetically prone to poor oral health may be more likely to suffer a decline in brain health compared to those with healthy teeth and gums.
