Gum Disease and Alzheimer’s Link



World Alzheimer's Day is Sept. 21 and we'd like to take this opportunity to remind you how taking care of your gums can help prevent Alzheimer's.


Scientists reported in 2010 that gum inflammation increases the risk of cognitive dysfunction associated with Alzheimer's. Gum inflammation does impact brain inflammation, researchers found.


Winterholler Dentistry aims to protect your overall health, not just fill cavities or whiten teeth. With less gum disease, we can help you bring down the number of Americans afflicted with Alzheimer's.


Brush and floss regularly to keep gum inflammation down. Come see us for regular check-ups to keep periodontal disease at bay.


Schedule an appointment with us today online or call us at 800-750-6054.
