However, the heart-health link to periodontal disease has become an even hotter topic , and rightfully so. We now know that gum disease can increase a person’s risk for a long list of overall health conditions, some of which are serious – heart attack, stroke, diabetes complications, low-weight birth, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, and respiratory diseases. “The Gingivitis Diet,” at www.HealthyFellow.com reviews these interesting developments and research on this topic. One study showed that of 1200 older men, those who consumed increased caortenoids (a type of antioxidants found in bright fruits and veggies) had reduced proclivity for periodontitis.

Lead scientist for the study and molecular biology professor, Kuniyasu Ochai, stated that  periodontitis in HIV-positive people could lead to the development of AIDS and that physical strength would be a factor.

Researchers in Israel report that infertile men are more prone to gum disease than those who are fertile. A study of 56 men aged 23 to 52 was conducted for three years. Findings showed that 65% of those subjects with preexisting gum disease had low sperm counts. Half of the subjects with no sperm suffered chronic periodontitis before the study began. In addition, those with gum disease showed sperm with decreased motility. Read the full article here. In Switzerland, scientists studied 180 women who had not given birth in the past six months.

Certainly this comes as a shock to most of us who are routinely told that mouthwash is a great supplement to toothbrushing for the removal of plaque and warding off gingivitis. The claim The review author, Michael McCullough,Associate Professor in Oral medicine at Melbourne University, found that there is “sufficient evidence” that use of alcohol-containing mouthwashes can increase a person’s risk for oral cancer. The alcohol component seems to be the key contributor to the increase in risk here. McCullough claims that the alcohol allows cancer-causing compounds(carcinogens) to attack the lining...

While scaling, root planing, Arestin, and good daily hygiene habits help deter and correct gingivitis, now there’s a chewing gum to enhance treatment. BioGaia developed the gum, Prodent, which contains Lactobacillus reuteri Prodentis, a bacterium that partners with the human immune system to reduce inflammation. Just one stick of Prodent reduced bleeding sites by 85% in a test performed by University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Periodontal pockets showed fluid reduction of about 50%, as well. BioGaia, based in Sweden, is a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of probiotic products.

In this article we learn about the many ways stress can affect the caregiver’s health, as well as realize that “stress is an enemy of your teeth.” We know that stress can wreak havoc with our bodies causing illnesses and even death. Until recently, none of the research had focused on dental conditions. Now there is evidence that teeth are victims of stress. Taking care of oneself is important if you’re to care for your family member or anyone else with Alzheimer’s or other diseases.  Often caregivers have a 24/7 schedule with little...

Taking care of your oral health is something you should be doing anyway, but paying extra attention if you're at increased risk of heart disease is obviously a good idea. Oral issues like gingivitis, periodontitis, pericoronitis, and cavities are all unfortunately fairly common and could have an impact on your heart health.Seeing the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings, and brushing twice daily with regular flossing in between those visits will really help. And keep in touch with both your dentist and your doctor about your health, asking any questions you have or talking to them about anything suspicious (like bleeding ...
