Question Statement :

The thought that bacteria or inflammatory chemicals released by immune cells in the gums can enter the bloodstream and influence the behavior of other tissues or organs is known as the mouth-body connection. In the past decade, there has been an explosion of new research linking oral health to illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease. The most likely explanation is inflammation; the same heat, swelling and discomfort you experience when you stub your toe or get an infected splinter, only in this case it isn't switched off. Such chronic inflammation can be damaging to cells and the DNA they contain.

To avoid diseases like diabetes and cancer, one must take good care of one's teeth and gums.
A mouth-body connection exists which can lead to inflammation and can hence, damage important cells.
A lackadaisical approach to dental care could cause diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
People should not underestimate how the body will react when the mouth is neglected.
