Healthy gums are absolutely critical when maintaining positive bone levels in the mouth, any reduction in bone loss can lead to premature tooth loss. Overall gum health is connected to your body’s general health. Research has shown that the bacteria which causes gum disease has the ability to travel to your body’s vital organs via the body’s blood channels. Research also demonstrates that the presence of periodontal disease has been linked to the health of your kidneys, linked with heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, preterm birth and join replacement complications.
