Did you know that aside from colds and flu, periodontal disease is the most common infection in North America?
The current president of the American academy of Periodontology recently called the emerging connections between periodontal disease and a long list of other chronic diseases a revolution in medicine.
“The College wants dentists to be on the front line of that revolution”, explained College President Dr. Cam Witmer.
More and more research is pointing to the interconnection between oral health and systemic diseases such as diabetes, heart attacks and strokes, and pre-term and low birth weight babies.
