“The bacteria present between the gum and the teeth pass through the vessels of the gum. These same bacteria spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body and thus expose, over time, to a certain risk of problems of This is why regular dental care means that our mouths and our bodies will be healthier “, insists Dr Edmond Binhas, dental surgeon and founder of Dentéon Health.
