Everyone is aware of the impact of gum disease on our physical health. What is less well known is that it impacts your brain health, too, without routine dental hygiene and care.
The part of the brain that could be mostly affected is the hippocampus, which is responsible for storing your memories, and it can thin out. It’s depressing to think that perhaps I have already suffered some of this shrinkage. It also raises the chances of developing Alzheimer’s. Please make every effort to keep your dental hygiene appointments before it’s too late.
