Untreated dental infections can significantly raise the risk of heart disease—and even premature death, a research confirms.
Poor oral health is no longer just a local issue in the mouth; it is a systemic threat.

A major meta-analysis has shown that people with severe tooth loss have a 66% higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to those with minimal or no tooth loss. Chronic infections in the mouth, including cavities that reach the pulp and bone, can trigger inflammatory responses that damage arteries and promote atherosclerosis.

Dr. Andrew Waxler, a cardiologist at Penn State Health, warns that people with untreated tooth infections are 2.7 times more likely to develop heart conditions like coronary artery disease. The bacteria and toxins from dental infections can silently enter the bloodstream, contributing to heart strain and long-term cardiovascular damage.

Can Your Jaw Affect Your Posture?

In recent years, many researchers have investigated the various factors influencing body posture: foot proprioception, visual systems, and the inner ear.

Recent studies indicate that the jaw plays a role in body posture.
These studies suggest that tension in the jaw can contribute to impaired neural control of posture.

If the proprioceptive information of the stomatognathic system is inaccurate, then head control and body position may be affected.

Change in the mandibular position leads to changes in the proprioceptive and periodontal afferents, which affect the center of foot pressure (COP).

Conversely, changes in body posture may also affect mandibular position.

Positive correlations between different craniofacial morphologies and postural attitudes have been reported.

For example, an anteriorly displaced posture in Class II malocclusion, and a posteriorly displaced posture in Class III malocclusion.

So your jaw position DOES affect your posture.
This is especially relevant to those invested in athletic pursuits.

According to this research, the correlation between malocclusion, posture, and balance can have a dramatic impact on performance.

I'm sure many of us have had to go through the process of having our wisdom teeth removed. It's not always the most pleasant experience, but sometimes it's necessary. Maybe your dentist told you that your wisdom teeth were coming in the wrong way, or were causing some discomfort in your mouth. In any case, if you've had your wisdom teeth removed, you might be interested to know that there are some other benefits to the procedure besides just getting rid of those pesky teeth. Let's take a look at the top five benefits according to NDC;

🦷 Fewer orthodontic problems can be caused by reduced crowding.
🦷 Adjacent teeth will be prevented from getting damaged.
🦷 minimize the risk of oral health disease and inflammation
🦷 Reduces orofacial pain
🦷 Prevent cysts, tumors, and jaw damage
