Gateway of Health

Today's Medical Science is well equipped with advanced tools and techniques. But unfortunately, it focuses more on detection and treatments rather than on the cause and prevention of diseases. We too often spend time and money on correcting the problem but always ignore the actual cause of the problem. You need to hit the cause before it hit you. Prevention can make you not only healthy but wealthy too. It can save a lot for you. This book is about causes, risk factors, features, prevention, early detection, care to be taken, remedies and treatments of common and important diseases of teeth, gums, jaws, and mouth, and how oral health plays a pivotal role in overall health and in the ultimate outcome of pregnancy, systemic diseases, Covid-19, and in patients undergoing major therapies or surgeries. The information provided will help you in the prevention and early identification of not only oral but important systemic (body) diseases.

The mouth is not only the mirror but the gateway of systemic health. Good general health and quality of life cannot be complete without good oral health. Harmful microbes and their toxins from gums and tooth infections not only cause systemic diseases but badly influences the entire course of the disease. Poor oral hygiene during pregnancy can affect the developing baby and can lead to miscarriage, low birth weight, and premature delivery. Good oral hygiene not only prevents spread but complications of Covid-19, including death. So, just by keeping your mouth clean, you can not only save yours but others' lives too. Oral hygiene is the most effective and affordable method of preventing not just oral but systemic diseases and thereby improving overall health.
