Albuquerque, NM – February 28, 2025 – Dr. Ketan Patel of Peppermint Dental & Orthodontics is raising awareness about the critical link between oral health and systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Recent studies have revealed that oral infections, like periodontal disease, can lead to increased inflammation in the body, contributing to the development and progression of heart disease and diabetes. Maintaining healthy teeth and gums isn't just about a bright smile—it plays a key role in overall health.

“By neglecting oral health, patients unknowingly increase their risk for more serious health conditions,” said Dr. Patel. “Regular dental check-ups and consistent oral hygiene habits can significantly reduce this risk, helping patients protect their heart and manage chronic diseases like diabetes.”

Peppermint Dental & Orthodontics offers comprehensive dental care that emphasizes prevention and holistic wellness, ensuring that patients' oral health supports their long-term well-being.
