Connection between obesity and dental care

Being overweight and obese is becoming increasingly common in India and we can see if happening in Chennai, Coimbatore and Pondicherry and other southern states in India. 

Not only does being overweight causes diseases like diabetes, heart diseases and cancer, but research has now started showing that it also has the probability of causing gum diseases.

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. 

So are you going to start watching out on your diet now? And dont forget to visit your dentist in chennai
