Good oral care is one of the easiest ways to positively impact your overall health
The health of your mouth can influence your entire body. Take the quiz below.
1. Do your gums bleed?
2. Do you have cavities or bad breath?
3. Do you have diabetes?
4. Do you have heart disease?
5. Are you pregnant or taking birth control pills?
6. Has it been over a year since you had your teeth checked or cleaned?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may be at risk for gum disease. Recent research has also linked bacteria in gum disease to diabetes, heart disease and low birth weight in babies. Visit your dentist or the Student Health Center’s Dental Service to find out more.
