Healthy Gums, Healthy You.


The mouth is vital for so much that we do.  From talking to eating to smiling or frowning.  The mouth is also a gateway to the entire body – a connector to overall health.  The MDA’s new dental education campaign, Healthy Gums, Healthy You, demonstrates the impact that a person’s oral health has on their overall health and well-being.  Growing evidence shows a link between periodontal (gum) disease and other serious medical problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
