We’ve taken a detailed look at the close relationship between your oral health and your overall health before. However, sometimes it’s nice to see things in pictures, or in our case, a beautiful infographic.
Some takeaways for those of you looking to enhance both their oral and overall health:
1. 14.74% of smokers adults aged 20-64 also have periodontal disease.
2. 23% of adults aged 20-64 have untreated cavities, which can lead to gum disease.
3. Adults with diabetes are 2x more likely to have periodontal and/or gum disease.
