Did you know that more than 67% of the world’s population has some kind of periodontal disease that often leads to serious systemic chronic conditions such as Heart Disease, Stroke, Pancreatic Cancer, Alzheimer’s and much more? Did you know that your oral health offers clues about your overall health — or that problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body?
Oral diseases ranging from dental caries (cavities) to oral cancers cause pain and disability for millions of Americans. A growing body of evidence has linked oral health, particularly periodontal (gum) disease, to several chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
What conditions may be linked to oral health?
- Endocarditis. Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of your heart (endocardium). Endocarditis typically occurs when bacteria or other germs from another part of your body, such as your mouth, spread through your bloodstream and attach to damaged areas in your heart.
- Cardiovascular disease. Some research suggests that heart disease, clogged arteries, and stroke might be linked to the inflammation and infections that oral bacteria can cause. If the gums are inflamed due to the bacteria that cause periodontal disease, that same bacteria can actually get into the bloodstream causing the arteries to build up plaque and harden.
- Pregnancy and birth. Periodontitis has been linked to premature birth and low birth weight.
- Diabetes. Diabetes reduces the body’s resistance to infection — putting the gums at risk. Gum disease appears to be more frequent and severe among people who have diabetes. Research shows that people who have gum disease have a harder time controlling their blood sugar levels and that regular periodontal care can improve diabetes control.
- Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis — which causes bones to become weak and brittle — might be linked with periodontal bone loss and tooth loss. Drugs used to treat osteoporosis carry a small risk of damage to the bones of the jaw.
- Alzheimer’s disease. Worsening oral health is seen as Alzheimer’s disease progresses. Substances that are released from gums inflamed by infection can actually kill brain cells and lead to memory loss. Dementia and possibly even Alzheimer’s disease can result from gingivitis when the bacteria in the mouth spreads to the nerve channels or enters the bloodstream.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis. According to the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society, people with gum disease were four times more likely to have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Both diseases have inflammation in common. The oral bacteria from gingivitis can increase inflammation throughout the body. This makes the risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis, a painful and debilitating inflammatory disease, much higher.
- Kidney Disease. Chronic kidney disease is a serious health problem that affects the kidneys, heart, bones, and blood pressure. Infections in the body such as periodontal disease can lead to kidney disease. People with gum disease generally have weaker immune systems and are more likely to acquire infections. Many people who suffer from very poor oral health also suffer from kidney disease. Kidney disease can be fatal if it leads to kidney failure or cardiovascular disease.
- Cancer. Obviously, poor oral health practices such as smoking or using tobacco products can lead to oral and throat cancers, but other types of cancer have also been linked to gum disease. The risk for kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, and blood cancers is much higher for people who have poor oral health.
Let’s Talk Health just returned from the National Cancer Control Convention where we secured an exclusive partnership with the inventors of the Kyoui Sonic 3000 Oral Hygiene System – The world’s most advanced and patented oral health device on the market today. The Kyoui Sonic 3000 Oral Hygiene System was developed to facilitate brushing teeth as recommended by dentists and hygienists in a “vertical” motion. Most people brush their teeth in a “back and forth” motion that causes oral health issues such as gingivitis. This advanced system has numerous patents and is acclaimed in the industry. Here is a researched-based recommendation:
“The Kyoui Sonic 3000 Oral Hygiene System is a real revolution in the world of dental hygiene. We clinically tested the Kyoui Oral Hygiene System on 100 patients to analyze how they feel about it and more importantly, the results regarding their oral health. Feedback from these patients was very good regarding ease of use and 99% of them found it very comfortable. We saw incredible results, especially for those with retainers, gum problems and stained teeth. I highly recommend Kyoui sonic 3000 for better dental hygiene and healthier gums.”
