KARACHI: On the occasion of World Oral Health Day 2025, Prof. Dr. Naveed Rashid Qureshi, President of Pakistan Dental Association (PDA) Karachi Chapter, delivered an insightful message emphasizing the critical link between oral health and overall well-being.
In his exclusive message for Dental News Pakistan, Dr. Naveed Rashid Qureshi highlighted how oral health is not merely about a bright smile but plays a vital role in maintaining general health. He stated that one of the most common yet often neglected issues is gum disease, which can lead to severe complications like heart disease, kidney disorders, liver problems, and digestive issues.
"Would you be able to chew properly if you have problems with your teeth? The answer is no. The way you take care of your body, you should take care of your mouth equally to ensure good general health," said Dr. Qureshi.
He emphasized the importance of proper dental hygiene in preventing common oral diseases that can significantly impact one’s health. According to global studies, gum disease has been linked to serious health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and weakened immunity. Dr. Qureshi urged people to adopt a proactive approach to oral care, reinforcing that maintaining oral hygiene is a crucial step toward a healthier life.
