DR. OZ and Oral Health
Dr. Oz and Your Oral Health
In a recent article by Dr. Oz regarding overall health, one section was devoted to oral health. He states that it is essential to brush and flush daily as inflammation causes more health problems than you would imagine! In fact your body becomes dangerous when it is inflammed. Inflammation causes rusting of the body, like an apple becoming brown 20 minutes after it is cut.
Essentially, gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums and a leading cause of immune civil war that stimulates inflammation is a major cause of heart attacks. Dr. Oz goes on to state that floss to clean the 40% of tooth surfaces that you miss if you only brush.
His article only reinforces that fact that your oral health affects your overall health.
