A research has indicated that adults with gum disease are twice likely to suffer stroke than people with healthy gum.
This is not the first study liking gum disease to brain attack caused by blood clot. The chair of neurology at the University Of South Carolina School Of Medicine in Columbia, Souvik Sen, said the higher the gum disease, the worse the risk. Stroke risk level increases with the level of gum disease.
However, researchers still don’t know why people with gum disease have higher stroke risk. It is noted that the inflammatory level found in the gum hardening the arties might play a role, as the hardening of the blood vessel happen in the brain or the neck which can lead to stroke.
