Gum disease (periodontal disease) is associated with the elevated risk of the cardiovascular disease in addition to the cerebrovascular disease as well as death in various studies. Some of the pathogens provide an association between gum disease and Alzheimer Disease. Thus, the inflammation that is caused by the gum disease is highly associated with Alzheimer Disease thus proving the assumption that there is an association between gum disease and the individuals who may be susceptible to developing Alzheimer disease.

Introduction
Studies have confirmed a relationship between gum disease and increased rate of cognitive decline in individuals who are in the early stages of the Alzheimer Disease (AD). Gum disease also referred to as periodontitis is a disease that is prevalent in the older adults and is increasingly becoming common in AD as a result of the reduced ability to take care of the dental hygiene following the progression of the disease. Increased levels of antibodies in line with periodontal bacteria are highly affiliated with increased inflammatory molecules levels in the other parts of the body consequently linked to elevated rates in the …show more content…
Bacteria have the capability of entering the bloodstream via the day to day activities including eating, the brushing of teeth and chewing. On reaching the bloodstream, the bacteria are carried to the remaining parts of the body. A research conducted by the school of medicine in the Central Lancashire University of England provides evidence of the association between gum disease and Alzheimer disease. Upon reaching the brain, the bacteria trigger the response of the immune system thus killing the cells of the brain. The response of the immune system might be a mechanism that results in various changes in the brain, a typical representation of the Alzheimer
