Anything with the word ‘disease’ in the title should be enough to trigger some life in you and work hard to rid yourself of the problem in the city of Leeds; as it is with gum disease- this is a nasty and disgusting piece of work. It may well start innocently enough with a little blood on your toothbrush, but now you have left a door open to it and if you don’t act now, you will be leaving yourself vulnerable to heart disease and tooth loss in the future- that’s just what this spiteful condition can lead to. Curing it in the early days is not so hard to do, but if you leave it- well you have already been told; it can be the death of you. Get your dentist and a hygienist on your side fast in order to help tackle this. You will need to address things such as your diet, habits like smoking and drinking and you will definitely have to improve the way you look after your oral hygiene. It doesn’t matter at what level the disease is at, you must fight it on all fronts and throw the kitchen sink at it if need be- it’s your health we are talking about here.

There is a horrible union going on within the mouth and body that most of us living in the city of Leeds would be completely oblivious to. Diabetes is a very delicate condition that needs constant monitoring and discipline in order to keep on top of. But however, people with diabetes also have their immune system depleted which exposes the body to all manner of complications. There are high levels of toxins in the body that need to be kept under control; wounds heal more slowly as the blood supply to small blood vessels are impaired by diabetes. All of has a detrimental affect on the gums in the mouth and can lead very quickly to gum disease setting in and because all the body’s defenses are already depleted, fighting gum disease becomes that much harder. But there is also a sinister footnote to this merry-go-round: it is also true that most people who have suffered from gum disease for sometime are equally leaving themselves open to diabetes in later life as the toxins from the disease can breakdown the effectiveness of the liver and kidney. It isn’t an easy ride for anyone with either condition, but they can be checked with a lot of hard work.
