For nearly three decades, researchers have confronted conventional thinking with hard evidence of a bodymouth connection. These pioneering scientists uncovered, what is now a scientific fact; the health of your mouth has a direct impact on your overall health and longevity. Scientists know that what goes on in your mouth can affect every organ in your body. If bacteria causes your gums to bleed, that same bacteria has a clear path to your bloodstream and eventually anywhere in your body. In numerous studies, scientists have detected DNA remnants of oral bacteria in the atherosclerotic plaque of heart patients. However, the current research is strongly suggesting that poor oral health can contribute to the onset of type II diabetes.
If you keep your mouth healthy, you have a much better chance of maintaining your overall health as you age. If your mouth is not healthy; if you suffer from a chronic inflammatory periodontal disease such as gingivitis or periodontitis, your risk for diabetes and heart disease increases dramatically. According to a recent Surgeon General’s report, more than 50% of adults show some degree of inflammatory gum disease. Advanced periodontal disease, attachment loss of 6 millimeters, was evident in 15% of adults ages 45 to 54. These statistics may be surprising, but they are expected. In a recent poll, The American Dental Association reported only 25% of those surveyed brushed their teeth after every meal. » Read more: The Bio-Pro Oral Health Program
