Questions about Periodontal Disease
What is the link between Periodontal Disease and Alzheimer's disease risk?
Periodontal disease is linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, likely through inflammation and oral bacteria reaching the brain, but a direct cause is not proven.
Full answer →Is there a link between Periodontal Disease and pancreatic cancer in older adults?
Yes, research suggests periodontal disease is linked to a higher risk of pancreatic cancer in older adults, possibly due to chronic inflammation and oral bacteria.
