A member asked:
Can a lack of teeth cleaning lead to increased allergies or food intolerances?

Not to my knowledge: i never heard of allergies or food intolerance as a result of poor oral hygiene or lack of cleanings by a professional. You should seek the advice of,an allergist or a dietician to evaluate your condition, just don't neglect the ...cleanings.

No but: it can lead to other painful and expensive problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. Best to always brush and floss efficiently at the least once per day and to see your dentist regularly to stay ahead of problems

No and yes: The intolerance that you may experience from lack of teeth cleanings may come from infections that affect taste, and also may lower your immune system if you get gum infections, You should try and be consistent with getting to the dentist.
