Your mouth is the gateway to your body’s health.

Good oral hygiene doesn’t just keep your teeth bright — it also helps reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more.

Healthy dental habits could save more than your smile

Healthy gums mean a healthier you!

Your smile and your heart are connected

Gum disease bacteria can enter your bloodstream and cause inflammation, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Keeping your gums healthy supports your heart health too.

At Pearls of Dentistry, we care about both your smile and your heart.

Protecting Your Gums When You Have Diabetes

Gum disease is considered the 6th complication of diabetes.

Diabetics have a decreased ability to fight bacteria that invade the gum tissues.

Oral health and diabetes go hand in hand

Gum disease can make it harder to control blood sugar, while diabetes increases the risk of gum disease — a two-way relationship proven by research.

Managing your oral health can help keep your blood sugar balanced and your body healthier.

Healthy gums support a healthy pregnancy

Pregnant women with gum disease are more likely to experience preterm birth or low birth weight.

Good oral care reduces inflammation, helping protect both you and your baby.

Visit Pearls of Dentistry for gentle, expert dental care during pregnancy.

Research links gum disease and inflammation to other conditions like Alzheimer’s, rheumatoid arthritis, and respiratory issues.

Strong oral health supports your whole body
