Taking care of your teeth could have a positive impact on your joint health. Rice University computational biologist Vicky Yao found traces of bacteria associated with periodontal disease in samples collected from rheumatoid arthritis patients, helping spur research that confirmed a connection between the diseases.
The link between oral health and joint health is not yet fully understood, but researchers believe that inflammation may be the key factor. Poor oral hygiene can lead to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, which can cause inflammation throughout the body. This inflammation can then contribute to the development of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
The findings underscore the importance of good dental hygiene for overall health and well-being. By taking care of our teeth and gums, we can not only prevent common dental problems like cavities and gum disease but also reduce our risk of developing more serious health problems down the line.
The study also highlights the interconnectedness of different parts of the body and the importance of taking a holistic approach to health and wellness. By focusing on all aspects of our health – from oral hygiene to diet and exercise – we can reduce our risk of developing a wide range of health issues, and improve our overall quality of life.
