Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease -Introduction

Alzheimer's disease is an unavoidable cause of dementia that creates difficulty in thinking, behaviour issues and memory loss.
Symptoms for this disease develop typically gradually and becomes worse over time, getting severe enough to interfere with daily activities.
As Alzheimer's disease proceeds through the brain, it results in severe symptoms like mood and behaviour changes, complications in speaking, swallowing and walking.
Difficulty in remembering newly learned information is the most visible early sign of Alzheimer's disease. 

Alzheimer's disease -Dental Connect

A study by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in the UK has proved that people who have healthy teeth could be at a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared with those who have bad oral hygiene or gum disease.
They also discovered bacteria in the brain parts of patients who had dementia when they were alive. It is the same bacteria which causes chronic gum(periodontitis) disease.
One more study from New York University in 2010 states that there is long-term evidence proving that   Alzheimer's disease and Gum inflammation are interlinked, and it could intensify the risk of cognitive dysfunction.
