Oral health is one of the gateways to general health and well being and brushing up on your daily dental routine has never been more important according to recent findings.

New research suggests that gum disease carries a higher risk of causing a stroke than diabetes, and its impact is nearly the equivalent of high blood pressure as a major cause of strokes.
