Correlation between oral health and systemic diseases
Sumanpreet Kaur

Oral disease has been linked to a variety of health problems, including heart disease and diabetes. While there have been some connections discovered between periodontitis and systemic disorders, determining direct causality remains challenging. Smoking and a poor diet are two prominent risk factors for oral and systemic disorders. Infectious oral bacteria can cause a variety of systemic disorders, particularly in individuals with immunological and nutritional deficits, when mouth germs have systemic access. As a result, controlling existing oral infections is plainly critical and a vital precaution to avoid systemic problems. More studies are being carried out in this area. Oral and systemic diseases are closely related; they have similar socioeconomic determinants of health and comparable modifiable risk factors. While the evidence for the former is minimal, there is strong evidence for the existence of significant connections between periodontal disease and diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and renal disease. This argument over causality vs. association has been heated. It is commonly known that diabetes and periodontal disease are related. While well-controlled diabetes is not linked to an increased risk, poorly managed diabetes impacts both the onset and frequently fast course of periodontal disease.
