- An Unheathy Mouth
I was reading the Wall Street Journal yesterday, December 27, 2011 when I noticed that the front page was completely devouted to the relationship between oral and systemic health. The article is entittled “If Your Teeth Could Talk . . . “
“We have lots of data showing a direct correlation between inflammation in the mouth and inflammation in the body,” says Anthony Iacopino, director of the International Centre for Oral-Systemic Health, which opened at the University of Manitoba Faculty of Dentistry in Canada in 2008.
So much current research ties dental health to overall health. Thank you for keeping us aware of this!
