Need to know: Asthma and gum disease
People with asthma may suffer from dry mouth which can lead to dental problems. Now a study in Brazil has highlighted a strong connection between asthma and gum disease.
Key takeaways:
– Make sure your dentist knows your full medical history.
– Take extra care of your dental health if you have asthma.
– Drink lots of water to avoid dry mouth which can lead to gum disease.
Visit your dentist for regular assessments to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Gum disease is reversible if caught early.
“Even if you do have asthma, with the proper dental care you can avoid gum disease.”
