More and more links are being found between periodontal disease and other serious health issues. Periodontal bacteria can enter the blood stream and travel to major organs to begin new infections. Research is suggesting that this may:
- Contribute to the development of heart disease, the nation’s leading cause of death
- Increase the risk of stroke
- Increase a woman’s risk of having a pre-term, low birth weight baby
- Create serious threats to people whose health is compromised by diabetes, respiratory disease, or osteoporosis
Laser is a fast and effective option, managing the connection between oral infection and systemic disease.
