Gum Disease And Respiratory Disease

Recent research suggests that bacteria found in the mouth and throat can be drawn into the lower respiratory tract and into the lungs.  This can cause infections or worsen existing lung conditions. 

People with respiratory disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), typically suffer from reduced protective systems, making it difficult to eliminate bacteria from the lungs.

Scientists have found that bacteria which grow in the oral cavity can be inhaled into the lungs to cause respiratory disease such as pneumonia.  This is especially true in people with gum disease.
