Consult Now!Respiratory Infection and Periodontal Disease
Gum Disease Linked to Chronic
Respiratory Problems
Medical research has more people than ever on alert for signs of gum disease. Periodontal health is getting increasing attention because beyond tooth loss, the far-reaching impacts include cardiovascular health, the respiratory system, blood sugar, and more. Systemic links include cancer, ulcers, and dramatically higher risk of stroke and heart disease. The respiratory system can be particularly impacted by gum disease, but the team at Madison Family Dental can help. We can do a gum assessment, treat gum disease, and help those living with gum disease with periodontal maintenance, too.
Periodontal Disease and the Lungs
Bacteria that continually live in the mouth from periodontal disease can get in the bloodstream and even inhaled into the respiratory system. For this reason, it is believed it can contribute to instances of bacterial pneumonia as well as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder). The longer gum disease goes untreated, the more chronic respiratory problems can get.
Systemic Links
If you have constant problems with respiratory infections and have signs of gum disease, treatment is important. In addition to periodontal disease’s connection to respiratory infections, the associated bacteria can also boost your chances of other health problems. Your risk for heart attack, stroke, and cancer of the blood, kidneys, and pancreas may also be increased. The sooner you deal with gum disease, the better. And the longer it is left untreated, the more chances of tooth loss, respiratory infections, and other health issues.

Madison Family Dental goes beyond the ordinary services of the average dental office. In addition to the routine cleaning and x-rays, we perform everything from tooth whitening to treatment for TMJ pain. Many of our patients are surprised to learn the connection between dental health and ailments that seem far removed from problems of the teeth and gums. For example, we also successfully use dentistry to address sleep apnea.
Additionally, we provide a range of periodontal services to keep your gums healthy. We educate our patients on the importance of staying alert for early signs of gum problems because they can easily lead to even more serious issues. Good gum hygiene is crucial for our patients who also struggle with diabetes.
