The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explained that the level of lead reported in the crown in the media reports- approximately 200 parts per million- is “highly unlikely” to be a health risk to an adult.

“Such small amounts of lead, as reported, are extremely unlikely to cause adverse health effects in adults,” the CDC told the ADA in it’s response.  “Given the current information, CDC does not recommend that individuals defer needed oral procedures or have existing prostheses removed.”

• Studies have found oral bacteria from gum infections in arterial plaque, and have also shown that therapy for periodontal disease lessens inflammation throughout the body.
• Poor oral health has been identified as a stronger predictor of heart disease than other risk factors such as low levels of good cholesterol, high levels of a clotting agent, and high levels of certain fats in the bloodstream.
• Long-term and short-term studies continue to clarify the links between oral bacteria, inflammation and systemic diseases.

The Surgeon General in his Report on Oral Health in America said that the mouth is the gateway to the body, that you cannot be healthy without oral health, and that oral and general health are inseparable.  Together, we can prevent and sometimes reverse gum disease.  Brush, floss, and keep regular preventive, diagnostic, and maintenance dental appointments.
