Gum Care 101:
Perfect Smile's Quick Guide to Fighting Gum Disease

• Nearly 80% of all adults will experience some form of gum disease.
   
• The older we get, the more likely we are to get gum disease.
   
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleed easily (a.k.a. "pink in the sink") could be warning signs that you have gum disease.
   
• Gum disease is the leading cause of bad breath.
   
• Gingivitis is the mildest form of gum disease. Left untreated, however, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, a serious condition that can require surgery to prevent tooth loss.
   
• Mounting evidence points to untreated gum disease as a factor in causing heart disease, diabetes, strokes, respiratory ailments and low birth weight babies.
   
• Gum disease is treatable. The sooner you do something about it, the more likely you won't require periodontal surgery.
   
• Antioxidants slow down or stop harmful oxidation in cells and this process is believed to play a role in preventing various diseases.
   
• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant which is essential for cell growth and energy.
   
• CoQ10 is produced naturally by the human body, but as we age we produce less of it.
   
• People with gum disease have been found to have lower levels of antioxidants in their gum tissue.  In addition to this, researchers have found that people with gum disease show a significantly lower level of Coenzyme Q10 in their gum tissue.
   
• Studies have shown that treating gum disease with CoQ10 creates favorable results in stopping  and even reversing gum disease... without invasive surgery!
