Introduction Your mouth is more than just the start of the digestive system; it's a gateway to your entire body. Mounting evidence shows that oral health is closely connected to overall health, and poor dental hygiene can be an early warning sign of systemic diseases. This blog dives into the science behind this connection, explores what symptoms to look for, and highlights how KIWIBIRD’s advanced oral care tools can help you maintain wellness from the inside out.
The Mouth-Body Connection The mouth is teeming with bacteria, most of them harmless. However, without proper care, these bacteria can multiply and lead to oral infections, such as gum disease and tooth decay. From there, inflammation and pathogens can enter the bloodstream and affect other parts of the body.
