Gastric Diseases

Our dental team is committed to staying abreast of the current dental research in the interest of good health. We wish our patients to be aware of the most current research regarding periodontal health, heart disease, pulmonary infections, diabetes, chronic infections and other health related issues.

The bacteria that collect in your mouth when gum disease is present are the same bacteria that cause gastric ulcers. If the bacterial count in the mouth is high these bacteria can be constantly travelling to the stomach, re-infecting and causing a return of ulcers.
