About this service

This information has been provided by Oral Health Improvement Bury | The Bury Directory

Oral Health is a key indicator of someone's overall health, well-being and quality of life.

Good oral health plays a vital role in allowing a person to eat, communicate and be free from discomfort. It has long been considered that poor oral health and respiratory illness are linked, because bacteria in the mouth can move down the respiratory tract to the lungs and cause infection.

Did you know there is also research to suggest that people with good oral health have better outcomes if they have Covid-19? For more information regarding how you can help please see attached information sheet which contains useful hyperlinks to additional resources.
