Your gums, Your health

According to the CDC records form 2006, the top 10 leading causes of death by disease were: 1) Heart disease, 2) Cancer, 3) Stroke, 4) Chronic Lower Respiratory diseases
5) Accidents (unintentional injuries), 6) Diabetes, 7) Alzheimer’s disease
8) Influenza and pneumonia, 9) Nephritis, nephritic syndrome, and nephrosis (kidney disease), 10) Septicemia (Infection)
These are statistics from the US but the results will be similar in Canada. Four of the top 10 causes of death (in bold) have inflammatory components, and all four have reported links to gum disease based on science!!
