Inching Up?

Gum disease is a chronic inflammatory infection that affects your entire body, including your metabolism, thus limiting your ability to control your weight.

• There is compelling evidence that advanced gum disease contributes to obesity and that overweight individuals have more severe gum disease.
• Fat cells release inflammatory proteins which trigger more weight gain.
• There is a relationship between gum disease, obesity, and diabetes. It appears that oral bacteria affect your metabolism by aiding insulin resistance.

Knowledge is power. Continue to eat a balanced diet, exercise frequently, brush and floss daily, and see us regularly so we can monitor and effectively treat your oral health.
