The connection between one’s state of Oral Health and the Systemic Disease(s) that one has or will have was brought to pulic attention by the U.S. Surgeon General's report in May of 2000. (US Department of Health and Human Services) Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General-- Executive Summary., 2000. The report states: "The terms oral health and general health should not be interpreted as separate entities". Oral health is an integral part of general health, not a seperate entity. The report included important reminders that oral health means more than healthy teeth and that you cannot be healthy without oral health. Studies have demonstrated an association between periodontal diseases and diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The concept of oral health has changed from a narrow focus on teeth and gingiva to the recognition that the mouth is the center of vital tissues and functions that are critical to total health and well-being across the life span. Periodontal disease may increase risk for a variety of health concerns including heart disease, stroke, pre-term birth, diabetes, osteoporosis, lung disease and others. The statistical relationship between periodontal disease and systemic diseases has been well documented and was referred to in the Surgeon General's report.
