العلاقة المحتملة بين أمراض اللثة ومرض الزهايمر🧠
A 2024 research study shows that chronic gum disease may do more than harm your teeth — it could also raise your risk of developing dementia.
This study followed older adults for over 12 years and found that those who received gum treatment had a 38% lower risk of dementia compared to those who didn’t. The reason? Harmful bacteria from inflamed gums can enter the bloodstream, travel to the brain, and trigger inflammation that’s linked to memory loss and cognitive decline.
This is a strong reminder that oral health is deeply connected to brain health. Gum problems are not just about your smile — they may quietly affect your mind over time.
If you notice red, swollen, or bleeding gums, don’t ignore it. Timely dental care could protect more than just your teeth.
