Research has also shown a link between dental bacteria and heart disease. Not sure if it’s causation or correlation, but keeping your dental microbiome healthy seems to have benefits throughout the body.

    There are larger, more established correlational studies that show a link between dental health and overall physical health as well. There needs to be much more study done but preliminary evidence would suggest that preventive dental care provides for a cheaper overall health cost for a person over their lifetime.
