Why good dental hygiene is important

A few recent studies published by NYU, Harvard, and the University of Bristol have shed light on the need for good oral hygiene.  You can read a summary of the reports here.

Most people are aware that poor dental hygiene can lead to cavities, gum disease and bad breath.  But there are other problems that can result from neglecting your mouth.  The studies mention that Alzheimer's disease, pancreatic cancer, and heart disease can possibly be caused by poor oral hygiene.
