    The mouth is home to millions of different bacterial types that inhabit plaque

    daily.

    Old plaque can be formed into calculus.
    Calculus can only be removed professionally by a dentist.

    Gingivitis is caused by inflammation of the gums that are not protected by the
    immune system
    Signs of gingivitis include redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums.
    If gingivitis is untreated for too long, it can lead to periodontal disease.
    Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory oral disease that affects about seventy to
    eighty percent of adults.
    Periodontitis increases chances of diabetes, insulin resistance, and various respiratory
    diseases
    Periodontitis causes bone loss and loss of soft tissue surrounding the tooth
    Severity of periodontitis is directly correlated with chances of a preterm baby
    Chances of osteoporosis are higher for women with periodontal disease or those who
    are at risk for it.
    Pulmonary impairment can be increased by decayed teeth.
    Patients with periodontal disease have are more likely to be diagnosed with
    rheumatoid arthritis.
    Periodontal disease can benefit from physical exercise
    Smoking, drinking, and lack of physical activity can make worse/lead to periodontal
    disease.
    Overall health can be negatively affected by oral hygiene.
    A direct correlation between periodontitis and thickening of the carotid artery has
    been observed by doctors and dentists.
    Obesity can make periodontal disease more serious.

    This source was very in depth about the correlation between oral hygiene and health of
    the body, emphasizing its effect on not only teeth but other serious conditions especially
