Oral health serves as a crucial indicator of overall systemic well-being, often revealing early signs of underlying conditions. Diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and autoimmune conditions frequently manifest through symptoms like gum inflammation, oral infections, or dry mouth. Poor oral hygiene can also exacerbate systemic inflammation, contributing to the progression of chronic illnesses. Therefore, maintaining oral health is not just about the mouth—it plays a vital role in holistic health monitoring and disease prevention.
