Is having bad teeth a precursor or indicator that I will develop Alzheimer's disease? I have bad teeth.
I see. Can you tell me more about the correlation between gum disease and Alzheimer's disease?
Certainly. Some studies have suggested a link between chronic gum disease and an increased risk of cognitive decline, including Alzheimer's disease. The theory is that the bacteria associated with gum disease may enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain, where they can trigger inflammation and damage to brain cells.
