General Health Information

Researchers in oral health now believe anaerobic bacteria eventually
spread beyond the mouth when gum disease treatments fail to neutralize
their population. These bacteria not only have the potential of
attaching to the fatty plaques already present in your arteries, they
can eventually infect the heart itself and increase chances for stroke,
heart attack, and other major medical problems. Ultimately, failure to
treat gum disease properly will lead to a weakened immune system and
premature aging. When you fail to prevent gum disease, heart
problems are ultimately possible which is why you need to take oral
health very seriously and always see a dentist or periodontist every
six months.
