Dentists are all about prevention and often educate their patients about the link between oral and overall health. But still amazing how many people do not do something so simple as flossing, brushing properly, getting routine dental treatment, that can prevent tragedy like the one described in this article. Here;s another healthy tidbit: if you are over 50, have multiple dental restorations, root canals, crowns, implants, or a history of periodontal problems, you should be seeing your dentist more often than a 12 year old who goes to the dentist twice a year. Resolve this year to have better oral and overall health.
Case underscores gaps in preventive dental care and the consequences of separating oral and systemic health.
