Many people view their dental health as primarily cosmetic. If they are able to hide a problem, then maybe it doesn’t matter. They do this with a different smile or a different manner of speech.
And some others think that the health of the mouth is localized. They think that oral health only affects the mouth, or maybe the head, as well.
But your teeth play a significant role in how healthy your heart can be, as well. Today, your Newport Beach, CA dentist discusses how the two are connected, and how science is finding new ties everyday.
