Gum Disease May Contribute to Heart Disease or Even Stroke
Recent medical research has led many doctors to reach an unexpected conclusion: gum disease, stroke, and heart disease are connected. Since heart disease is usually fatal, it is clear that gum disease is a very serious matter. The American Dental Association estimates that 80% of Americans have gum disease. Many dentists consider this epidemic proportions. They also know that gum disease wouldn’t be labeled epidemic since “no one ever dies from it.” The worst-case scenario is tooth loss. Unpleasant – but certainly not life threatening. But those views have all changed. 
The American Academy of Periodontology states, “Studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes and respiratory diseases.” Periodontal disease is characterized by a bacterial gum infection. These bacteria can then travel through the bloodstream – straight to the heart.
