Can you get sick from bad dental health?

Is it true even if you have a perfect lifestyle(64oz water daily, 8hrs sleep, pure diet, fresh air & sunlight, etc etc), if you have a cracked tooth or are in need of dental work, then you can still get sick often or easily?

Yes. Bad dental health usually includes abcesses,which are infected
areas of the gums and the deeper regions of the dentriture. These infections are in an area of the body with a rich blood supply,which allows the infection to travel to many organs. Believe it or not the heart and its lining can be affected by infected teeth.

  11. Absolutely!

    In fact there are many studies implicating gum disease with heart disease – majority of people with serious heart problems have gum bacteria in their diseased heart tissue. (Weird but true)

    A cracked tooth is basically an open wound, it is an open door to infection.
