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

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
