Missing teeth is linked to heart disease, stroke and dementia. I can%26#039;t find any data showing whether it%26#039;s the change in occlusion and mandibular/maxillary anatomy, osteopathic resorption or TMJ maladies that cause the problems; or the toxic oral fauna that caused the tooth loss. The studies usually equate missing teeth to problems rather than infection. That may be like saying there%26#039;s a correlation between caskets and death. It doesn%26#039;t signify the real cause. I%26#039;ve heard of a Tuft%26#039;s U. study that spoke of chronic pressure on the vagus nerve and obstructed cerebral blood supply leading to alzheimer%26#039;s and M.S.. If anyone%26#039;s heard anything, please inform.
Is it the missing teeth or what caused the teeth to go missing that causes health problems?
I believe it is supposed to be the bacteria that caused the loss to begin with. Here is one quote from an article I found:
%26quot;Yes, recent research suggests that the bacteria that cause gum infections can also lead to or worsen atherosclerosis, the arterial disease that leads to heart attacks and strokes.%26quot;
