Oral health – The window to Overall health

Oral health or the dental health is not just restricted to the health of teeth, gums and associated parts of mouth, it is well connected to other parts of body. Many diseases can manifest signs and symptoms in oral cavity and can help in diagnosis. Diseases like diabetes have its affects on oral health, mainly the gums or the periodontal structures. Few medicines that are given to treat health conditions also may affect the oral health. For instance, few medicines prescribed for hypertension or elevated BP can lead to enlargement or swelling of gums. There are medicines that can lead to reduced salivary flow.
So, there are many ways by which oral health is connected to overall health. Therefore it is said oral health is window to overall health. Maintaining good oral health is vital for good overall health.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]
