Systemic means affecting the entire body, rather than a single organ or body part. For example, systemic disorders, such as high blood pressure, or systemic diseases, such as the flu, affect the entire body. An infection that is in the bloodstream is called a systemic infection. The oral-systemic connection is the link between the health of your mouth and your overall health. Studies show that oral germs, such as those that cause gum disease, frequently enter the bloodstream and quickly spread throughout the body.
