A Couple Hundred Bucks a Year could Help Save Your Life-Not just your Teeth!
Most of us are aware of the risk to the cardiovascular system if we don't look after our mouths, however Alzheimer's is also an inflammatory disease too and also is linked to the health of our mouth. Alzheimer's is the result of amyloid deposits that aggravate neuroinflammation and eventually cause cell death. This new study suggest that chronic inflammation, such as involved with gum disease worsens the inflammatory processes in the brain.
If you have ever been told you have gum disease or ever heard Dr. Glenn O. Smith, Susan or Carol record a gum pocket over 4mm, then the studies are talking about you.
While some patients over 38 years of age can get away with a cleaning every 6 months, patients with gum issues can't afford that much time between cleanings. A couple hundred dollars a year could not only save your smile, but literally save your brain and life as you know it. Don't risk it, make sure you see Susan or Carol as regular as they suggest!
