Gingivitis May Harm the Immune System; Matthew Horne Austin Dentist Offers Dental Treatments for Effective Prevention of the Disease

AUSTIN, TX, February 22, 2013 (Press-News.org) According to the study of scientists in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Alabama, gingivitis is more than a gum disease. Porphyromonas Gingivalis, the bacteria that causes it, work its way to control the immune system so it can grow well inside the gums.

Researchers primarily made use of mice cells and exposed them to the bacteria. They discovered that P. gingivalis has the ability to start a chronic infection by way of periodontal disease. The study offered insights on how this occurs. Significantly, the research was able to prove the importance of early dental intervention to remove the bacteria.
