Periodontal Disease & Overall Health
The concept of periodontal disease as a localized
entity affecting only the teeth and supporting tissues is increasingly
being questioned. Periodontal disease may significantly impact
pregnant individuals or those with diabetes or cardiovascular
disease. Individuals with periodontal disease may have significantly
increased risk for heart diseases. Women with periodontitis may
have increased risk for delivering pre-term, low birth weight
babies. Preliminary evidence suggests that periodontal infections
may also be associated with lung disease and other remote site
infections.
When our office recommends restorative or periodontal therapy,
we have your overall health, as well as your dental health, in
mind. (next)
