Studies have shown that heart disease is twice as high in people with gum disease because a common strain of bacteria in dental plaque may cause blood clots.
Plaque bacteria has also been linked to infective endocarditis, lung infection in people with chronic lung diseases, weaken immune systems, and a hight risk of delivering premature, low birth weight infants.
Gum disease is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults, attacking the gums, bone, and other tooth-supporting structures. Gum disease progresses silently, often without pain.
