There is ample research to support the cause-and-effect relationship between periodontal disease and a number of other greater health risks. Bacterimia, the bacteria in the blood stream caused from gum disease, has shown to increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. There is also a connection between gum disease and the increased risk of delivering a preterm, low birth weight baby. And for diabetics, gum disease affects insulin and its effect on controlling blood sugar levels. |
