November 10th, 2022 @ 9am PST
Gum disease exists in 40% of the adult population. The link between poor oral health and many chronic diseases, including Alzheimer’s is becoming more established.
This lecture explores:
- All diseases are underpinned by similar mechanisms.
- How a local disease (gum disease) can have whole body consequences.
- How gum disease exaggerates all other chronic disease processes.
- How oral bacteria can exaggerate the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
- Bacterial translocation and compromised barrier function at the mouth, gut and brain that can increase Alzheimer’s risk.
- Alzheimer’s is an infectious disease.
-
Oral genomics, the host and invader relationship.
