Alzheimer’s may be linked to Gum Disease

I found this great article in my local newspaper and wanted you to know about this.

Poor dental health and gum disease may be linked to Alzheimer’s disease, a study suggests.  Brains of Dementia patients were found to have Porphyromonas gingivalis, the bug responsible for unhealthy gums.  Scientists believe that when the bacteria rech the brain they trigger an immune response leading to the death of neurons.  This could help drive the changes typical of Alzheimer’s.

The findings by a team at the University of Central Lancashire are reported in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.  The team also confirmed in animals that P. gingivalis in the mouth finds its way to the brain.

Yet another reason we need to be taking care of our teeth and gums, oil pulling being my favorite.
