Cranberries Effectively Fights Severe Gum Disease
Reducing the risk of developing periodontitis, brushing, flossing, and
regular dental cleanings help prevent gingivitis and the onset of
severe gum infections. Recently, findings reveal that the cranberry may
be the next new weapon in the fight for good oral health. Researchers
have discovered that natural compounds in cranberries may help ward off
periodontitis, or severe gum disease, by serving as a powerful
anti-inflammatory agent. This anti-inflammatory effect may be
attributed to unique compounds in the fruit that prevent P. gingivalis
bacteria from adhering to the teeth below the gum line. This new
research offers great promise for the estimated 67 million Americans
affected by periodontitis, the primary cause of tooth loss in adults.
Cranberries are widely known for their “anti-adhesion” activity, which
helps guard the body from certain harmful bacteria that cause urinary
tract infections, stomach ulcers and severe gum disease.
