Jaw Can Be Damaged By Gum DiseaseTuesday, June 18, 2013
When we think of gum disease we usually think of puffy, swollen gums and an infection that may eventually lead to tooth loss. Gum disease can also affect the bone in the jaw according to new research.
The research from the University of Michigan identified the bacterium responsible for periodontitis (gum disease) and they also found that the same bacterium triggers a protein in the mouth to turn against the body and trigger bone destroying cells.
"The findings from this study underscore the connection between beneficial and harmful bacteria that normally reside in the oral cavity, how a harmful bacterium causes the disease, and how an at-risk patient might respond to such bacteria," said Dr. William Giannobile, one of the scientists working on the project.
The bacteria from oral infection has also been linked to heart disease and has even been found in some cancers as it has the ability to travel throughout the body.
Protect your oral health and your overall health by scheduling your regular dental hygiene visit today by contacting Boca Raton cosmetic dentist Dr. Kenneth Mogell at 561-394-9000. yourdentalblog

Gum disease can be terrible. A gradual weakening of our gums can lead to tooth loss; forcing us to alter our diet and meaning that we lose our award winning smile. It is therefore vitally important that treatment for gum disease is sought as soon as it is identified. Treatments for gum disease at Occidental of Brooklyn can range from medication to surgical. The more advanced the condition, the more likely that surgical treatments will be necessary. So be careful.
