11. Scientists now believe that this is
because gum disease causes potentially
harmful bacteria to be released into the
bloodstream.
Although they are unsure exactly how
or why this happens, it is thought that
the bacteria can trigger or speed up the
thickening of the arteries, or could even
cause blood clots in very severe cases.

attacks your own body - that causes swelling
in the joints of the body, especially around
the hands, feet and wrists.
So where does brushing your teeth fit in?
According to US researchers, there is a link
between the bacterium that causes gum
disease, and how early the arthritis develops
and how severe it is.
Scientists at the University of Louisville’s
School of Dentistry in Kentucky discovered
that gum disease produces a unique enzyme,
which 'enhances' collagen-induced arthritis -
a type of arthritis similar to rheumatoid
arthritis.
