Gum disease is not just an oral health issue—it’s a serious systemic health concern.

🔵 Here's how it happens:

When plaque builds up on teeth and gums, it harbors bacteria that cause inflammation. In periodontitis, these bacteria and inflammatory mediators can enter the bloodstream through bleeding gums.

Once in circulation, they can:

➡️ Trigger systemic inflammation that contributes to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries).

➡️ Promote plaque buildup in blood vessels, increasing the risk of blockages.

➡️ Elevate C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, a marker associated with heart disease.

➡️ Potentially cause endothelial dysfunction, impairing blood vessel health.

Several studies show a strong link between chronic periodontal disease and increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, and even diabetes complications.

This groundbreaking discovery about the vimentin protein and non-coding RNA could pave the way for new, more effective breast cancer treatments. Let's celebrate this vital research! 🙌
