In this brief presentation, the speaker asserts that virtually every chronic disease or persistent fatigue can be traced back to oral health. Citing the World Health Organization, they claim that 70% of all chronic diseases originate in the mouth. The speaker highlights tooth decay as the most prevalent chronic disease, affecting about 90% of the population, and mentions gum diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis as additional oral health concerns. The overarching message is that poor oral health leads to poor overall health, emphasizing the need to prioritize oral hygiene and care as a foundational step in managing chronic health issues.

Any disease or chronic fatigue, whatever you come up with, I will always have a link to your mouth. And this is the important bit. The World Health Organization says 70% of all chronic disease start in the mouth. But what they are looking into is only the oral diseases like tooth decay, which is number one chronic disease with 90% incidence, gum disease like periodontitis and gingivitis. So in this world of chronic health issues, it is really important to optimize your health because poor oral health equals poor overall health. That's the start.
