Oral health is whole body health....studies confirm that bacteria, the inflammatory proteins -CRP proteins from diseased gums, travel

through the bloodstream and contribute to a number of inflammatory disorders, one such disease contributes to the formation of artery-clogging plaques. It is also believed that infection and inflammation may contribute to infective endocarditis, a condition in which the interior lining of the heart and heart valves become inflamed, If left untreated, this condition could lead to a fatal infection. As our society ages, bacterial respiratory infections are caused by the aspiration or inhaling of germs from the mouth and throat into the lungs contributing to increased difficulty in breathing. We have learned that people with diabetes are more prone to a variety of bacterial infections, including gum disease, than people without diabetes, diabetics impaired immune health contributes.
