How Gum Disease Affects Your Health

Research has discovered connections between gum disease and other serious health problems such as

heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer kidney disease, Alzheimer's, pre-term low birth weight babies, respiratory diseases, low sperm count and other diseases. Gum disease is a potentially Deadly Infection which dramatically reduces one's ability to fight off other diseases and infections setting you up for major illnesses. If you already have diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes, gum disease will aggravate your condition making it much harder to stabilize your medical condition.

Gum disease is an infection of bacteria, viruses and other micro organisms that spread throughout your body.
