What goes in your mouth

 

 

Everything you put in your mouth good and bad goes into your body....

Now that may sounds pretty simple to some people but it's really not.

You have a sulcus(think 2 mm space) that surrounds your tooth like a turtleneck.

There are 500 different bacteria that can make there home there.

Those bacteria can reck havoc on your gums and teeth but did you know those same bacteria can be absorbed through your gums and mouth and reck havoc on your heart and body.

Infection is Infection to the body.. It doesn't really care one way or the other.

Periodontal Disease. It a infection in the mouth but it doesn't stay in the mouth..

It is in most cases painless..like high blood pressure.

You don't even know those bacteria are causing infection and then the body starts attacking the tooth and surrounding structures to rid the body of infection..

The result bone loss, tooth loss...

It also can be transferred from one person to another...

Bet you didn't know that...

So how do you prevent it or if you have it stop or manage it..

Tune in to see in my next installment..
