Oral health is linked not only to how beautiful your smile is, but also to your general health. Medical researchers continue to come up with diseases and illnesses that are partly caused by dental problems, most commonly by infected teeth that need to be removed. Here are some conditions that can be related to the condition of your teeth and that might be solvable after the infected teeth are removed from your mouth:
- Arthritis - some forms of arthritis can be linked to the inflammatory process started in the body by a bad tooth;
- Persistent sore throat or ear pain – dental infections can cause soreness and pain of varying intensity in the body areas close to the dental cavity, such as the throat or the ears. If the cause for the pain in the throat or in the ear is caused by a dental infection, the positive change is dramatic and almost instant after the bad tooth is removed;
-
Infections in the lungs
and in the digestive tract – the infections and the inflammation causing
bacteria that cause dental issues can travel from the mouth to the lungs and to
the digestive tract, causing inflammation and infections to appear in those
parts and organs as well. You may even think about seeing a dental implant surgeon Highland Park area for diagnosis on full mouth implants.
