There\u2019s more evidence of the health problems that stem from poor oral health. This is one of the reasons why BeconfiDent focus on Oral health care.<\/p>\n
A new study by researchers at the Swedish college Uppsala University found that tooth loss and gum disease raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The research team determined that missing teeth increased the enzyme levels of a specific enzyme. It was also discovered that this enzyme raised the risk of inflammation and hardening in the arteries.<\/p>\n
The risk increased for every missing tooth. There were even new risk factors added, including high blood pressure, bad cholesterol and the circumference of the waist. The people with fewer teeth were also at an increased risk of suffering from diabetes. Each missing tooth made the person 11 percent more likely to develop diabetes.<\/p>\n
Despite the many recent studies that have linked heart health and overall health, there isn\u2019t much data from patients diagnosed with heart problems and how gum disease impacted them before their heart problems.<\/p>\n
