Jd.

As of disease state caused bybad oral health : the answer can be Yes
Bad Oral Health Can Lead To States that May Lead To Depression And
Other Physical Diseases !

O.K. So can bad oral health CAUSE depression?
Best way to find out is to take care of your bad oral health and see
if it helps. You need to do that anyway, so just do it and then see if
it helps.

I THINK I recall reading somewhere that infections can lead to
depression. I would think that would be true because an ongoing
infection can cuase your body to be overwhelmed in constantly fighting
the infection. But I'm not a doctor (nor a dentist).
