75% of adults have some form of periodontal disease.
The majority of people do not know they have it, because it is usually painless in its early stages.
Is chronic gum disease contributing to chronic inflammation throughout the body?

Oral Health Is A Critical Component Of Total Health
Periodontal (Gum) Diseases are linked to:
–Heart Disease
–Lung Disease
–Diabetes
–Pre-mature, low-birth weight babies

HEART DISEASE
Bacteria found in the mouth can enter the blood stream and spread throughout the body. This bacteria can:
infect the heart, as well as other organs cause inflamed coronary arteries ( can
lead to heart attacks and strokes)

Individuals with undiagnosed or uncontrolled diabetes are more likely to have periodontal disease than people without diabetes
Diabetes

Individuals with well-controlled diabetes have no more periodontal disease than persons without diabetes
Well Controlled Diabetics

The rate of developing periodontal disease in a person with diabetes is two to three times greater than in those without the disease
Those with poorly controlled diabetes respond poorly to any periodontal therapy
A diabetic who smokes and is over 45 is 20 times more likely than a nonsmoking, nondiabetic to have severe periodontitis
Diabetes – Oral Disease Risks

Lung Disease or
Respiratory Ailments
Bacteria associated with periodontal disease can travel from the mouth to the lungs
where it can lead to or aggravate respiratory diseases.

Contributing Systemic Risk Factors
Conditions, habits, or diseases that increase an individual’s susceptibility to periodontal infection

Systemic Risk Factors Tobacco use Osteoporosis Hormone alterations Systemic medications

Smoking and Tobacco Use
Important risk factor in development and progression of periodontal disease
More significant than poor oral hygiene

Smokers are….

Smoking may be responsible for more than 50% of cases of periodontal disease among adults in the US
Extent of periodontal disease is directly related to the number of cigarettes smoked and number of years of smoking
Relationship to Oral Disease

Affects more than 20 million people in US May be a link in skeletal osteoporosis and
oral bone loss Does not initiate tissue destruction but may
aggravate the progression of periodontal disease
Osteoporosis

Effects of Oral Medications- Effect on Gingival Tissues - overgrowth- Effect on Salivary Flow – dry mouth

Oral cavity as Source of Infection◦ Pathogenic bacteria enter bloodstream and cause
disease in other parts of body Relationship of inflammation in the mouth
and inflammatory diseases in the body
Periodontal Disease as a Risk Factor for Chronic Disease
