This is the reason it fully activates only when something attacks the. - body first. This process of inflammation has researchers busy_as.they continue to find evidence linking it to other serious diseases. There is no better illustration of this than chronic gum disease. The body literally — destroys itself, even though, the initial assault originated from bacteria. 2/3 Of the damage sustained by the body is caused by the inflammato process in response to the perceived invader. Even worse, the inflammation does not localize itself to just to the area of the perceived attack. It migrates! Here - €nters the association of gum disease with other health conditions like diabetes, premature birth, stroke and cardiovascular disease. However the infection travels from the mouth to distant organs; it is clear that it turns the body against itself. ek | . & When bacteria come in contact with the gums they secrete a toxin that breaks down the gum lining and it creates tiny cuts. The body’s bloodhounds attack these invaders. If the bloodhounds keep the biofilm at bay the battle _ Teaches a standoff.called gingivitis. If the bacteria continue toadvance ~. deeper into the gums the immune system signals a higher state of alert releasing “bigger and badder” soldiers that have more destructive capability. . The “high-alert” soldiers constantly release signals that heighten the inflammation process, Next thing you know, there is all out mayhem with immune soldiers running from house to house, spraying rooms with machine gun fire, tossing grenades, all before asking who is friend or foe. The tiny cuts become bigger ulcers sinking deeper into the gums creating periodontitis, more commonly know as gum disease. I know what you're thinking; “With all this mayhem occurring in my mouth, wouldn’t I be aware it’s going on?” The disease progresses silently and most people aren’t even - ‘aware that they have gum disease. If gum disease is allowed to progress, the advancing inflammation eats away gum, bone and the ligaments that anchor the teeth in the " socket which causes teeth to loosen until he ultimately they fall out. Although the damage in periodontal or gum disease is primarily the result of the inflammatory process it can only be prevented or treated by addressing the bacteria that is infecting the gums. So if you haven’t seen your dentist in the last six months, call and make an appointment or you could wind up being your own worst enemy!
