Oral Health - How It Affects Your Overall Health - Elite Dental Care Tracy
Did you know that your oral health clearly indicates how overall health is or that problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body? Ideally our body produces enough saliva which should help us to fight all the bacteria in the mouth. Saliva washes away food and neutralizes acids produced by bacteria in the mouth, helping to protect you from microbial invasion or overgrowth that might lead to disease however certain medications like decongestants, antihistamines, painkillers, diuretics and antidepressants can reduce the saliva flow.
