10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Periodontal Disease (summary of a 3 minute video)
  1. 50% of all adults in America have periodontal disease, and 70% of adults over 70 years of age have periodontal disease

  2. 80% of dogs have some form of periodontal disease by 3 years old – and you can get it from your dog!

  3. Most people don’t know that they have periodontal disease since it often presents with no symptoms

  4. Gum disease can affect your entire body

  5. Alzheimer’s disease has been strongly linked to gum disease, as has diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and various cancers

  6. Gum disease can affect your unborn baby, with research linking periodontal disease to lower birth weight, preterm birth, and pregnancy tumors in the mouth

  7. Gum recession is a form of periodontal disease; when you lose gum, you lose bone

  8. Periodontitis is transmissible; you can get it from your partner or your pets! If your spouse has gum disease you have a higher chance of having it too.

  9. It can be caused by some of the same bacteria that cause STDs

  10. It is a common cause of bad breath…


Vitamin D and Periodontal Disease

Vitamin D is another important factor for periodontal disease risk. A paper by Jagelavičienė et al. found that the risk of gingivitis and chronic periodontitis decreased with sufficient intake of vitamin D, likely due to its roles in:

immunomodulation

anti-inflammation

antiproliferative effects

cell apoptosis

bone metabolism

alveolar bone resorption

prevention of tooth loss

increased antibacterial defenses of gingival epithelial cells

decreased gingival inflammation
