Did you know?
Poor oral health
before and during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications.
This includes preterm birth and low birth weight, gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. With 1 in 4 pregnancies resulting in loss during pregnancy or childbirth in the UK, preventing and screening for oral disease is an important but often overlooked part of prenatal care.
It’s time to get mouthy about maternal oral health.

Higher levels of antibodies to periodontal bacteria are associated with an increase in levels of inflammatory molecules elsewhere in the body. Furthermore, without good oral health, you'll have a steeper curve of decline and a poorer quality of life.
Recent studies conducted on the link between oral health and longevity have found that:
Individuals with no or less than 10 natural teeth over the age of 65 have a significantly higher risk of cognitive impairment and mortality compared to those with 10 or more teeth remaining (Saito et al., 2018).
Poor oral health is associated with an increased risk of systemic diseases and decreased lifespan and has a a significant impact on quality of life (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, 2021).
Oral infections, such as gum disease, promote cellular senescence in the oral cavity, contributing to aging and chronic inflammation (Lipsky et al., 2024).
Poor oral health is linked to an increased risk of DNA damage, potentially contributing to genomic instability, cancer and by extension, aging (Borba et al., 2019).
Poor oral health is associated with mortality, highlighting the importance of improving oral health to lengthen survival in older age (Kotronia et al., 2021).

Patients with chronic gum conditions such as gingivitis or advanced periodontal disease have the highest risk for heart disease caused by poor oral health, particularly if it remains undiagnosed and unmanaged (Colgate, 2023).
Oral health and heart disease are connected by the spread of bacteria – and other germs – from your mouth to other parts of your body through the blood stream. When these bacteria reach the heart, they can attach themselves to any damaged area and cause inflammation (Colgate, 2023).
According to the Mayo Clinic (2021), this can result in illnesses such as endocarditis, an infection of the inner lining of the heart. According to the American Heart Association, other cardiovascular conditions such as atherosclerosis (clogged arteries) and stroke have also been linked to inflammation caused by oral bacteria.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of maternal deaths in the UK (Oxford University, 2019) and accounts for 33% of maternal deaths in the USA (California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative, 2017).

Research shows that people who have gum disease have a harder time controlling their blood sugar levels. Regular periodontal care can improve diabetes control. Gum disease appears to be more frequent and severe among people who have diabetes (Mayo Clinic, 2021).
Poor oral health during pregnancy is associated with a statistically significant increased risk for gestational diabetes (Abariga & Whitcomb, 2016), which increases the risk of preeclampsia (high blood pressure) and developing permanent Type 2 diabetes after pregnancy (Mayo Clinic, 2022). If poorly managed, gestational diabetes can also raise your child's chance of developing diabetes (Healthline, 2022).

The mouth is home to about 700 species of bacteria, including those that can cause periodontal (gum) disease. Certain bacteria in your mouth can be pulled into your lungs, causing pneumonia and other respiratory diseases (Mayo Clinic, 2021).
Respiratory conditions can significantly affect quality of life and, in severe cases, can be life-threatening. By maintaining good oral hygiene and minimizing the presence of harmful bacteria in the mouth, individuals can potentially reduce the risk of respiratory infections and improve their respiratory well-being.

The mouth is home to about 700 species of bacteria, including those that can cause periodontal (gum) disease.
Recent analysis suggests that bacteria that cause gum disease are also associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, especially vascular dementia (Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, 2020).
Studies have also found a link between gum disease and greater rates of cognitive decline in people with early stages of Alzheimer’s disease because of a reduced ability to take care of oral hygiene as the disease progresses (King’s College London and the University of Southampton, 2016).
Patients with long standing gum disease lasting for more than 10 years have been found to have increased their chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease by 70% (Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2017).
Growing evidence from these and a number of other studies links the body’s inflammatory response to increased rates of cognitive decline, suggesting that it would be worth exploring whether the treatment of gum disease might also benefit the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (Dentistry UK, 2016).

Women with periodontitis are three times more likely to develop breast cancer (Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 2017), the most common cancer worldwide (WHO, 2020).
Recent research has found that men with gum disease were 49% more likely to develop kidney cancer, 54% more likely to develop pancreatic cancer, and 30% more likely to develop blood cancers (American Academy of Periodontology, 2024).
Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, which Mouthy screens for both in-person and remotely.
