PSA or prostate specific antigen
CAL or clinical attachment level (which is an indicator for gum disease)

This finding supports the belief that there is a deep connection between oral health and whole body health.

Gum health problems such as bleeding gums, swollen gums or receding gums that indicate gum disease – can also indicate the presence of other inflammatory issues.
