Most people are aware of acute inflammation, which is a normal reaction of the body to an injury to promote healing. For example, if you have a wound, you may find that the area is getting red, swollen, hot and painful. This kind of inflammation typically heals after a few days.
Then there is the less obvious chronic inflammation, which is long-lasting and insidious. Chronic inflammation starts often as an underlying condition and doesn’t stop. It can stay for a long time at a low level undetected in the body. In many cases, people don’t know that they suffer from chronic inflammation until it is literarily too late.
In my latest video, I’ll explain the most common causes of inflammation in the mouth, how to detect it with modern non-invasive technology. You’ll find out why undetected and untreated inflammation can lead to serious health problems.
