Many people don\u2019t, but it\u2019s true. Recent medical research has revealed that <b>gum disease<\/b>, a very common oral health condition, has also been connected to a variety of other health problems, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heart disease<\/li>\n<li>Rheumatoid arthritis<\/li>\n<li>Pneumonia<\/li>\n<li>Stroke<\/li>\n<li>Alzheimer\u2019s<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Pre-term birth and low birth weight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What Is Gum Disease?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Gum disease<\/b>, also known as periodontal disease, begins with the collection of bacteria and plaque around the gum line. These irritants cause the gum line\u2019s sensitive tissue to feel sore or to bleed when brushed with a toothbrush. Gum disease can also cause frequent bad breath (the medical term for this is halitosis).<\/p>\n<p>If <b>gum disease<\/b> isn\u2019t treated, it can cause the gum line to recede, creating pockets around the teeth. If bacteria get into these pockets, they can travel to other parts of the body. That\u2019s how <b>gum disease<\/b> ends up influencing overall wellbeing over time.<\/p>\n<p><b>Caring for Your Smile Every Day<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You can prevent <b>gum disease<\/b> by remembering to care for your teeth every day and by seeing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robisondentalgroup.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">dentists<\/a> at <b>Robison Dental Group<\/b> twice a year for checkups and cleanings.
