Periodontal and Hygiene
Periodontal (Gum) disease is the infection of gum, connective tissue, and bone around our teeth. Certain types of bacteria can invade the tissues and enter the bloodstream. In some cases these bacteria cause an immune response and health problems elsewhere in the body. This is referred to as the oral-systemic link. By taking care of your teeth, you are also taking care of the rest of your body and promoting good overall wellness.
