As told in the article by Charlene Krejci researchers now seem to think that being overweight can also lead to gum diseases. Obese individuals produce proteins with inflammatory properties which can harm our gum tissues and also stop the gum from developing. This is why many doctors now suggest that its critical to go to your dentist one or two times annually to evaluate the risks of tooth loss and gum disease. Regular brushing and flossing can be a good deterrent to such diseases and prevention is always better.
