General Health Information

The human immune systems are very complex that they can be very
susceptible to bacteria attacks. A recent research yielded a surprising
finding that the P. gingivalis, a common bacteria that causes gum
disease may be tricking a receptor on bacteria-fighting white blood
cells into helping the P. gingivalis live and cause more damage and
disease. The research suggests that P. gingivalis has evolved, learning
to use the human immune system for its own survival. This finding is
important because P. gingivalis is the leading cause of periodontitis,
a disease that destroys gum, bone and teeth. It is also believed to
have a role in heart disease, stroke and other serious health diseases.
