Periodontal (gum) disease is a serious disease that affects 75 percent of all American adults age 35 and older. It can result from poor dental care, but can also be related to other factors including age, smoking, diabetes, genetics, hormonal changes, medications, poor nutrition and clenching and grinding teeth.
It's not just about your teeth anymore. Studies have shown a strong link between periodontal disease and an increased risk for:
- heart disease
- diabetes
- stroke
- osteoporosis
- pre-term or low birth weight babies
That's why Coast developed C3, an industry leading hygiene program that helps prevent, diagnose and manage this hidden health risk.
