The relationship between oral health and life expectancy

| Many people may not understand how oral health may affect life
expectancy. So the first step would be to recognise the mouth as a
major gateway into the human body. It is the
upper part of the digestive system and has a structure that prepares
food for the first phase of digestion.
The mouth contains the tongue, teeth, hard and soft palate, and gum,
salivary glands and the mucosa.
The body has various inter-connected systems of organs. This means
that if there is a problem with one part of the body, it may affect
other parts. A disease of any part of the mouth
may be associated with some other organs in other parts of the body.
A person with gum infection may suffer from general body malaise and
loss of appetite. A person with tooth ache may
also suffer from severe headache and earache.
Several diseases affecting the general health of the body have been
linked to the health of the parts of the mouth.

If someone's teeth have turned blue I would suspect the embalming fluid.
