Gain a child, lose a toothNew York University College of Dentistry did a study of close to 3,000 women and the surprising results showed a link between tooth and gum disease and the number of pregnancies a woman had. Pregnancy actually raises the risk of gingivitis (gum disease). Dr. Stephanie Russel says it means that the more outbreaks of it, the higher the risk of periodontal disease. It really is interesting to think how women with none of the science knowledge and often little education realized the two were linked a hundred years or more ago! Written by: Michele Collet
