Gum Disease - Unborn Danger & Beyond
Pegged as a "silent epidemic," gum disease now affects one in 10 adults and one in five people over the age of 65. It's on the rise and a problem linked to much more than tooth loss. The bacteria which cause gum infections can travel to other parts of the body and wreak havoc. In addition, the chronic inflammation that persists with severe gum disease can cause other damaging changes in the body. People with gum disease are almost twice as likely to have heart disease; and evidence continues to mount that the bacteria causing gum disease may play some role in premature births.
This segment examines how and why the health of the teeth and gums has not been given the same priority as the rest of the body when it comes to health care priorities and insurance coverage. This segment also looks at the best tools for preventing decay and gum disease.
A segment especially designed for middle school aged students concerning the link between oral health and over all health and why daily brushing and flossing are still the best way to avoid oral health problems.
