Abstract
Oral health comprises the palate, mouth and throat lining, tongue, lips, salivary glands, chewing muscles, nerves, and upper and lower jaw bones. Chronic mouth infections were related to ``diabetes, heart and lung disease, and stroke'' in a recent research. Our oral health influences our overall health. Understanding that tooth loss is usually caused by illness or injury rather than age is a crucial first step in preventing ``dental caries and periodontal disease''. This overview of evidence connects poor oral health to systemic disorders. A number of studies have shown a relationship between dental and general health, indicating ``poor oral health'' might a marker for systemic health problems. These links may inspire a programs to emphasize dental health exams for diabetics and hypertensive. Other criteria must be assessed to discover causal linkages and treatment effectiveness.
