Including dairy in your diet has long been thought to help you maintain healthy bones, but a study in the January issue of the Journal of Periodontology indicates it may also promote healthy gums. Researchers analyzed the periodontal health of 942 subjects; those who regularly consumed dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt had lower incidence of gum disease. That's significant because gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults and has been linked to the development of heart disease and increased risk of stroke. "These findings are important," says Dr. Susan Karabin, D.D.S., President of the AAP, "since maintaining healthy gums is a critical component to maintaining a healthy body."
