Bacteria have overcome your local immune system in the gums and saliva and now can gain access through wounds to seed themselves within your body. Serious consequences have been identified.

Contact DDS: When was the last time you had a complete dental examination with a FMS of radiographs? Have the dentist ascertain any problem areas you have.
