2011 Is "The Year of the Mouth" Declares AAOSH President
MADISON, Wisconsin – The Chinese have designated 2011 "The Year of the Rabbit," however, the bunnies are being asked to step aside because the president of the United States' fastest growing health organization, The American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH) is proclaiming the year 2011 as the "Year of the Mouth." AAOSH is taking a stand that the mouth is the first place to start for overall body health and longer life. In recent years the studies have been piling up connecting poor oral health to the deadliest of diseases including heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes. Oral health problems have also been shown to have close connections to many other serious health concerns like Alzheimer's, arthritis, pneumonia and pregnancy complications.
