Gum Disease Drives Systemic Inflammation
- Chronic periodontal disease seeds systemic inflammation by leaking bacteria and inflammatory mediators into the bloodstream.
- This oral-driven inflammation contributes to heart disease, dementia, autoimmune disease, pregnancy complications, and cancer risk.
Act On Early Gum Disease Signs
- Watch for swollen, tender, or bleeding gums and schedule a dental visit if you notice them.
- Don't ignore bleeding; it often signals active gum disease that needs professional evaluation.
Get The Right Dental Specialist
- Ask your dentist directly about periodontal status and request a hygienist assessment if needed.
- See a periodontist for moderate to advanced disease or when bone loss is present.
