String theory - how gingival (gum) inflammation is linked to Alzheimer's disease

A recent study from New York University (www.nyuedu/dental/news/index.html?news=236) shows signs that gingival inflammation and brain inflammation that leads to Alzheimer’s disease are linked to one another. If you could prevent Alzheimer’s wouldn't you want to try? It's as easy as flossing your teeth. Flossing or using a Waterpik waterflosser disturbs the bacteria that cause gingival inflammation also known as gingivitis. Almost 40% of your tooth cannot be reached if you are only brushing. Floss or a Waterpik will disturb the bacteria that cause the gingival inflammation helping you to be healthier!
