Abstract

This mini-review addresses the critical interconnection between oral health, specifically periodontal disease, and overall general health. It highlights the bi-directional relationship between periodontitis and systemic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and complications during pregnancy. The review emphasizes the exacerbation of periodontal issues in the presence of lifestyle factors like smoking and stress, and the potential risks they pose to systemic health. Recent findings connecting periodontitis with increased complications in COVID-19 patients are also discussed. The paper underscores the importance of multidisciplinary care and the role of oral health in the prevention and management of systemic diseases, concluding with a call for greater awareness and preventive strategies in healthcare.
