From Wall Street to Main Street, investors are doing a happy dance. On Wednesday, the U.S. stock market hit its highest level yet in 2016. After starting the year in meltdown mode, the market is on a comeback kick. The Dow has not only erased the losses, it's currently up 1.7% for the year. The S&P 500 has also notched a positive 1% gain.
A gum infection can eventually damage the soft tissue and bone that support teeth. Medical News Today says that complications of gum abscesses can include osteomyelitis, or a bone infection, which causes fever, severe pain in the affected bone and nausea.
These symptoms include redness, inflammation (swelling), constant bad breath, toothaches, tender and/or bleeding gums. A gum infection is different from a tooth infection because the gums are not as effectively controlled by means of brushing, flossing and rinsing. However, healthy gums and healthy teeth do go hand-in-hand and do benefit each other when proper oral hygiene is used.
