What do inflammations in the mouth have to do with your joints?

Theoretical considerations and clinical studies reveal strong similarities in the development of periodontitis and rheumatism/arthritis. Here, it is expected the patient will have a similar pattern of inflammatory response. Scientific research has proven that periodontitis influences profoundly the risk of rheumatism and arthritis and can also determine the severity of the disease.

Rheumatism and arthritis patients suffer from pain. Joint problems, restriction of movement in the morning, exhaustion – those afflicted face a daily battle with physical and emotional discomfort.

To detect and treat periodontitis as early as possible, medical and dental professionals currently use a variety of diagnostic procedures, including measurements taken using a periodontal probe, x-rays and bacterial, genetic or enzyme tests. (Source: IDI PARO)
