Why is Oral Health Important for Women?

  • The American Dental Association (ADA) emphasizes that maintaining good oral health throughout life is essential for overall well-being. It can contribute to better control of diabetes, lower risk of heart disease, and improved pregnancy outcomes.
  • Over one-quarter (26%) of adults in the US have untreated tooth decay, leading to pain, infection, and even systemic health problems (CDC).
  • Studies suggest hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman's life can make them more susceptible to gum disease (National Institutes of Health).
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that untreated tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children aged 2-5, and mothers with untreated cavities are more likely to have children with cavities.
  • The Journal of Periodontology, in a 2020 study, found a significant association between gum disease (periodontitis) and an increased risk of developing heart disease in women.
