Gum Disease Linked to Other Serious Health Risks

It has long been suspected that infections in the mouth can play havoc elsewhere in the body.  Initially it was thought that bacteria were the factor that linked gum disease to other infections in the body.  However, more recent research demonstrates that inflammation may link gum disease to other chronic conditions.

Research has shown that there is an association between gum disease and other chronic inflammatory conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease.   

Therefore, treating inflammation may not only help manage gum disease but may also help with the management of other chronic inflammatory conditions. Gum disease has also been implicated in problems in pregnancy, in particular to premature births and low birth weights.
