Researchers: oral and dental health and brain have a special relationship with each other

According to researchers, having healthy teeth and gums reduces the risk of dementia. Oral health is especially related to mental health.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, a recent study by Japanese researchers shows that there is an effective connection between oral health and brain. According to experts, these two parts of the body are amazingly related to each other.

Recent research has looked into whether oral problems such as gum disease and tooth loss can lead to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's stroke or other forms of dementia. The results obtained from this research clearly show that any oral problem can be related to a faster rate of decline in the part of the brain that is responsible for memory, learning and emotions. Although the obtained findings are very significant, such a link was clearly observed before.

Previously, a study was conducted in the United States on more than 40,000 adults in the UK Biobank research project. In this research, it was also found that poor oral and dental health can be a major risk and an important factor in stroke and dementia.
