The oral-systemic connection is the link between oral health and total body health. It acknowledges the links between poor diet, dentistry
and disease - suggesting that the earliest signs of disease are evident in the mouth: " A mouth full of evidence"
While this has been known since the early
1900s,
it is highlighted particularly well in a 2013
study
that looked at patients who suffered from a stroke or heart attack and then conducted PCR (polymerase chain reaction) DNA testing on the
bacteria that caused the clots. In every case, it was shown that the clot-causing bacteria was derived from oral sources.
Similarly, mercury amalgam fillings may start in the mouth; however, as mercury vapour is released, it often enters other parts of the body and creates physical or mental disturbances. In fact, a study conducted in 1989 on sheep and monkeys, showed that the animals still harboured a toxic load even 29 days after having their amalgams removed.
The oral cavity provides the perfect entry point for bacteria and viruses and their toxins to make their way into the bloodstream or the
neurological system - making the links between diet, dentistry and disease are irrefutable. Despite the glaring evidence, though, few
practitioners acknowledge the oral-systemic connection, and it continues to affect the lives and health of many.
