Tooth Neglect: Not sure if the stomach problem is associated with the lack of proper dental daily home care. The mouth is the source of most bacteria that invade our body and make us ill. It is a good place to start getting your mouth and teeth healthy and eliminating a probable cause of your stomach problems. Having a healthy mouth will make you feel healthier overall.

Yes: If your teeth are in bad shape you cannot chew well and you have lots of bacteria in your mouth. This does lead to stomach issues.
