World Oral Health Day | These three groups of people should pay special attention to oral health!

Today is World Oral Health Day. Oral health is related to overall health.

For example, gum disease (periodontitis) and tooth loss are linked to certain types of cancer; poor oral hygiene and untreated oral disease increase the risk of heart disease and stroke; gum disease is associated with low birth weight, premature birth, and preeclampsia; pathogens associated with gum inflammation are linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease; dental infections increase the risk of pneumonia, especially in the elderly; and gum disease is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes, adverse diabetes outcomes, and poor blood sugar control.

In addition to these, 3 groups of people should pay special attention to oral health.
