With the recent news of the FDA approved Alzheimer’s drug, lets talk about the Mouth-Body Connection in Alzheimer's Disease. 🧠A potential impact on the development and progression of this debilitating neurological condition.
Poor oral health may be associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.
Chronic gum disease, known as periodontitis, has been linked to cognitive decline and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. The bacteria associated with periodontitis can enter the bloodstream and potentially trigger inflammation throughout the body, including the brain.
Maintaining good oral health is essential not only for a healthy smile but also for overall well-being, including brain health. Strategies to promote oral health and potentially reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease:
Oral Hygiene: Teeth brushing at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush. Also floss daily and use of antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce bacterial plaque.
Regular Dental Evaluation for professional dental cleaning. Inform the Dental Care provider about any concerns regarding cognitive health or family history of Alzheimer's disease.
