Get to know your oral health Are you at risk for gum disease? Knowing the answer to this question could help your overall health. That’s because research shows an association between gum disease and other health conditions like diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Pregnant women with untreated gum disease may be at an increased risk for delivering preterm and/or low birth weight babies. Think cavities are just for kids? Think again. Many adults have untreated cavities (25% of those 20–44 years, 21% of those 45–64 years and 20% of those 65 years and older). 1 And tooth decay (cavities) is the single most common chronic childhood disease – four times more common than asthma. 2
