The daily monotonous task of brushing and flossing your teeth has never been more important in order to avoid gum disease and reduce the risks gum disease places on your overall health. It has been estimated that 75% of Americans have some form of gum disease which can be linked to serious health complications and causes dental problems that are avoidable.
There are millions of germs that live in your mouth. If you suffer from gum disease, you have open wounds in your gums that allow the bacteria to enter directly into your blood stream and circulate throughout your body. Dr. Shaunda Thomas, Sacramento Peridontist, specializes in dental implants, gum disease treatment, and gum surgery.

UK and Irish experts now say bacteria enter the bloodstream via sore gums and deposit a clot-forming protein.

Something that many women may not be aware of is the effect that having gum disease has on pregnant women.
