Hi
Thanks for writing in.
If you have dental problem you will not be able to have proper nutrition it will lead to stress, weakness & malnutrition.
If there is abscess in any tooth , it may lead to toothache & referred pain to other parts.
Indirectly dental problem has lot of influence on other diseases.
Hence try to maintain proper oral hygiene & visit your dentist every 6 months for regular check up.
