Unhealthy gum tissue is
            a major source of infection into your body.

If the gum tissue is 'bleeding out' when you brush your teeth, then bacteria is going in the same spot.

Chronic, ongoing infections in the gums are constantly pouring inflammation bi-products and chemicals into the blood stream and out into your body.

Sometimes this chemistry can be damaging elsewhere in your body.

The weapons you body uses to fight an infection battle in your gums may do unwanted damage somewhere else. (You could call those loose cannons!)

Don't let chronic mouth infections cascade into major health problems somewhere else.

Did you know that moderate gum disease can
cause early delivery of a baby?

Did you know that infected dental plaque can be inhaled and cause pneumonia?
