The World Federation of Neurology has dedicated World Brain Day 2024 to focusing on brain health and prevention. Did you know that the health of your mouth can impact your brain health?

A 2023 study by the American Heart Association titled “Poor oral health may contribute to declines in brain health” states that “adults who are genetically prone to poor oral health may be more likely to show signs of declining brain health than those with healthy teeth and gums,” and “early treatment of poor oral health may lead to significant brain health benefits.”

Another article by the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society titled “Periodontal health, cognitive decline, and dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies” states that “poor periodontal health adversely impacts cognition.”

The HR5 test is a crucial tool for identifying the five high-risk pathogens that are associated with inflammation that has been associated with chronic and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

This proactive approach ensures that your patients' oral and systemic health are monitored and maintained at the highest standard.
