Poor nutrition
When teeth or gums are not healthy, chewing can become uncomfortable, which may affect the foods you choose to eat. This may limit food choices and make it harder to eat a varied, balanced diet, which can affect overall nutrition. Good dental health helps you eat comfortably and get the nutrients your body needs.

Respiratory infections
Bacteria from the mouth can sometimes be breathed into the lungs, particularly in people with poor dental hygiene or existing health conditions. Studies suggest this may be linked to respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Maintaining good dental care may help reduce the number of harmful bacteria.

Diabetes complications
People with diabetes are more prone to gum disease. Inflammation of the gums can also make blood sugar levels harder to manage, potentially worsening diabetic symptoms. Good dental hygiene and regular dental care are an important part of diabetes management.

Kidney disease
Both gum disease and chronic kidney disease involve ongoing inflammation. Research suggests there may be an association between severe gum disease and kidney disease, although further studies are needed to fully understand this link.

Heart disease
Bacteria from gum disease can enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation in blood vessels. Over time, this may damage the heart and blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease. In some cases, dental bacteria can also cause endocarditis, an infection of the heart lining.

Pregnancy complications
Severe gum disease has been linked with pregnancy complications such as premature birth and low birth weight. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can also increase the risk of gum inflammation, making good dental care particularly important at this time.

Cognitive health
Long-standing gum disease has been associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline, including dementia. Researchers believe inflammation and the spread of bacteria may be contributing factors, though this area is still being studied.

Rheumatoid arthritis
There is evidence of a link between gum disease and rheumatoid arthritis, with inflammation being a possible shared factor. Some studies suggest that managing gum disease may help reduce overall inflammation in people with this condition.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis affects bone density and may be linked with bone loss around the teeth, increasing the risk of loose teeth or tooth loss. This association is more commonly seen in post-menopausal women.

The care from both the dentist and the hygienist is fabulous. My teeth after their recent clean by Christine look like new teeth, and my mouth and gums now feel and look really healthy. I also recently had to visit for a chipped tooth and I was very pleased with the solution and treatment from the dentist Dr Stephan. They are both so friendly and professional, as are everyone at the practice. I am really glad to be a patient at Capel Dental.

Fantastic atmosphere. I have a huge phobia of dentists and apart from an emergency at another dentist, I hadn't been for 40 years. The staff were very friendly and I felt at ease, the dentist explained everything in detail and I would recommend this dentist and the practice highly to anyone looking for a dentist .
