Oral Health and Alzheimer's: New Research Underscores Preventive Potential of Antibacterial Lumoral Treatment
SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 6, 2025 - Mounting Evidence Links Oral Health to Cognitive Decline
As Alzheimer's disease continues to affect a growing number of older adults worldwide, scientists are uncovering a stronger connection between oral health and neurological conditions such as dementia. Recent findings spotlight the critical role of oral infections and chronic inflammation in accelerating the progression of Alzheimer's, prompting healthcare professionals to reassess the importance of preventive dental care.
"Oral infections are a statistical risk for Alzheimer's, just as they are for conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This makes preventive oral care especially important," says Professor emeritus Jukka Meurman from the University of Helsinki.
