Flint And Flint Dentists In Sheffield Warn About Gum Disease And Patient Stroke Link
New research suggests that gum disease carries a higher risk of causing a stroke than diabetes, and its impact is nearly the equivalent of high blood pressure as a major cause of strokes.
- (1888PressRelease) September 18, 2011 - High blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes (diabetes mellitus) are widely recognised as major risks which contribute to non-fatal strokes (ischemic strokes).
In recent years there has been growing evidence of the link between gum disease (periodontitis) and strokes. The latest research indicates that people are twice as likely to suffer a non-fatal stroke as a result of gum disease, compared to diabetes. The data also suggests its impact is equivalent to people with high blood pressure.
This reinforces the importance of preventive dental care.
