The Mouth-Body Connection

At Yellowstone Dental Associates, we care a lot about your teeth, but we care much more about your wellbeing and your overall health and happiness. Dental care probably makes you think of fresh breath and a bright smile, but did you know that the importance of good oral habits goes far beyond just keeping your mouth healthy? The mouth is the gateway to the body, and good oral health can help prevent several major diseases and health conditions. The infographic below highlights significant ways that oral health affects the rest of the body.
