Other Health Concerns

Bacteria in plaque has also been linked to:

• Inflammation in the lining of the blood vessels which is known to lead to constriction in the arteries.
• Infective endocarditis, a potentially fatal disease in which the inner lining of the heart becomes inflamed.
• Lung infections in people with chronic lung diseases.
• A weakened immune system that can slow wound healing and diminish a person's response to hepatitis B and flue vaccines.
• A higher risk of delivering premature, low birth weight infants.
• Tooth loss.

Evidence is mounting relating gum disease to a variety of health concerns, some that are life threatening. By keeping regular recare appointments with your dental team, you help increase your chances for a long and happy life.
