Your teeth do more than just help you chew and smile—they play a vital role in overall health and wellbeing. Healthy teeth and gums are closely linked to your body’s systemic health. At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we emphasise preventive care to protect your smile and your overall health.
The Role of Teeth in Daily Life
Chewing and digestion – teeth break down food for proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
Speech and confidence – missing or damaged teeth can affect speech clarity and self-esteem.
Facial structure support – teeth help maintain jawbone strength and facial appearance.
Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Health
Heart disease – gum disease can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems due to inflammation and bacteria entering the bloodstream.
Diabetes – poor oral health can make blood sugar harder to control, and vice versa.
Respiratory infections – oral bacteria can travel to the lungs, increasing infection risk.
Pregnancy complications – gum disease has been linked to premature birth and low birth weight.
