Gum Disease and Heart Health

Studies indicate that people with gum disease are about twice as likely to experience heart diseases compared to those with healthy gums.
Chronic inflammation from infected gums can enter the bloodstream, contributing to artery narrowing, blood clots, and increased risk of stroke or heart failure.

Common Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
Many people overlook early gum disease signs. Watch for:
•Red, swollen, or tender gums
•Bleeding while brushing or flossing
•Persistent bad breath or foul taste
•Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
•Loose teeth or new gaps between teeth
•Pus between teeth and gums
