A connection between gum disease and Alzheimer’s Disease? Yes. Bacteria associated with AD (F. nucleatum – also linked to conditions ranging from colorectal cancer to premature delivery of babies.) -- have been isolated in the periodontal pockets and along the nerves extending from teeth to tissues in the brain. When these bacteria are introduced into brain cultures, an abnormal proliferation of immune (microglial) cells results. The over-abundance of immune cells triggers chronic inflammation which appears to be the key determinant in the progressive cognitive decline that occurs during Alzheimer’s disease

It’s a fact: those suffering from gum disease are two to three times more susceptible to heart attack, stroke or other serious cardiovascular event – most commonly heart disease and atherosclerosis. And, of course, the operative word in all arterial infections - in fact all systemic infection - is “inflammation.”

Inflammation is frequently the result of oral bacteria entering the blood stream via the “gateway” of the mouth and gums. Once in the bloodstream the bacteria combine with fat deposits to create plaque and restrict blood flow. Restricted blood flow and a compromised immune system can lead to clots, which obstruct the arterial pathway, weaken your body’s…
