Gum Disease And Your Health
As we go through life, sooner or later we will experience some sort of health problem, whether it be through heredity or other factors. Some diseases will burst forth without warning, others can go on progressively without our knowledge.
Gum disease is one that fits in both categories. It starts out silent and before we know it, we have a mouthful of problems. Over 70 % of the population has gum disease issues. For the most part, gum disease is usually considered a localized disease. Not to worry, a trip to the dentist will fix everything. This is not always the case.
Gum disease or ( Periodontal Disease) as it is called is a common and greatly misunderstood disease which can effect the over all health of your body. As it progresses, the infection will spread through the blood stream effecting certain parts of the body.
Approximately, 95 % of Americans with Diabetes also have gum disease, due in part to an increased susceptibility to infections. Gum disease not only is a discomfort and risk factor for those with Diabetes, but also make Diabetes worse.
So - now we know that gum disease is an infection which can travel through our blood stream which can act as a catalyst to complicate any existing conditions. Going to the dentist twice a year is the best preventative maintenance we have in our arsenal. However, as with other health problems, gum disease can go into hiding for a long time even years before we start to experience it's effects.
Medical science is finding out more about gum disease and it's relationship with other bodily diseases. This should by no means be taken lightly !
