The impact may not be immediate, but over time, the same bacteria and plaque responsible for <strong>gum disease<\/strong> and <strong>tooth decay<\/strong> can increase a patient\u2019s risk of developing a wide range of health problems, including <strong>heart disease<\/strong>, <strong>Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong>, <strong>diabetes<\/strong>, <strong>stroke<\/strong>, and even <strong>pre-term birth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why another term for general dentistry is preventive dentistry.
