If the eyes are the window to the soul, then the mouth is the window to the body. This simple yet powerful concept is one of the guiding principles at North York Dental. Exciting new research is leading us to believe that the mouth may be a reflection of our overall health and that our overall health may be reflected in the mouth. Caring for our bodies and our minds is critical; we hear about it everyday. But the importance of oral health is often forgotten even though it is an essential element to overall health and wellness. A happy healthy smile is just as important as a well-balanced diet and a daily dose of fresh air and exercise. Our mouths are part of our bodies and neglecting them can lead to all sorts of problems. This leap in thinking can change your perspective on the mouth. ...And on the balance between the mouth and body.
