Scientists may have pinpointed a way to reverse Alzheimer’s disease in an animal study | WHAT THEY LEARNED: https://www.fox4news.com/news/alzheimers-disease-could-be-reversed-restoring-brain-balance-study-suggests

A groundbreaking study reveals a surprising link between oral health and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers suggest that the root cause of Alzheimer’s could originate from bacteria and inflammation in the mouth. Poor oral hygiene and untreated gum disease may allow harmful bacteria to enter the bloodstream, potentially reaching the brain and triggering the disease years before symptoms appear.

This discovery highlights the critical importance of oral care for long-term brain health. Brushing, flossing, regular dental check-ups, and managing gum disease aren’t just about keeping your smile beautiful, they could play a role in protecting your memory and cognitive function.

While more research is needed to fully understand this connection, maintaining oral hygiene is now seen as a potential early defence against one of the world’s most challenging neurodegenerative diseases. Taking care of your mouth may be more powerful than you ever imagined.

This is a slow down or blockage of the blood that normally flows to part of your brain. When it happens, your brain cells don't get the oxygen and nutrients they need. Within minutes, they begin to die.
