🦷 Let's talk about gum disease and systemic health.
Scientific research has shown that inflammation in different parts of the body can be interconnected.
As a result, periodontal inflammation and periodontitis can increase your susceptibility to other inflammatory-driven conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, inflammatory arthritis, and even dementia.
To improve both periodontal and systemic health, it is essential to control the modifiable risk factors associated with periodontal inflammation. These include:
✅ Reguar dental and hygiene appointments
✅ managing stress
✅ avoiding smoking
✅ controlling diabetes
✅ maintaining a healthy diet and weight
Addressing these factors can have a direct and indirect impact on reducing systemic inflammation and improving overall health.
