Oral health plays a significant role in overall well-being, and emerging research suggests a potential link between oral health and Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects memory and cognitive functions.

The connection is thought to be due to the chronic inflammation caused by bacteria in the mouth that can enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain, potentially contributing to the formation of amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's. Moreover, individuals with Alzheimer's often face challenges in maintaining good oral hygiene, leading to dental problems and infections. The cognitive decline associated with the disease can make it difficult for patients to remember to brush their teeth or visit the dentist regularly, further exacerbating oral health issues.
