USA, September 3, 2024 - Having a healthy, white smile is a goal for most of us. Maintaining a good routine for dental hygiene is key to the foundation of that success. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., USA: Although previous medical research has shown that periodontal disease can affect major organs such as the heart, only a few studies have examined the link between gum infection and kidney disease. Nearly every diabetic knows the risks associated with the disease. It’s one of the first things that your doctor or nurse talks about when the diagnosis is made. There are some dental nuances that affect the diabetic as well. It has been concluded that any food material that can play a part in the formation of dental plaque has a risk for provoking inflammation resulting in periodontal disease. The latter is the result of increasing bacterial activity in tooth biofilm. According to a new study, periodontitis may be associated with a higher risk for pancreatic cancer. The study was conducted by a team from Brown University. More details appeared in the online edition of the Gut journal on Sept. 18. According to a new study, nearly 50% of adults in the US over the age of 30 are suffering from periodontal disease. The study was carried out by a team of researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Several other findings of importance included the fact that certain groups were affected more than the others. These groups included smokers, Mexican-Americans, people who lived in poor conditions, and individuals with less than a high school education. More about the study appeared online on Aug. 30 in the Journal of Dental Research. |
