Unhealthy gums can increase your risk of heart disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common oral health problem that affects millions of people around the world. It is characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. However, what many people don’t realize is that gum disease is also linked to a number of other health problems, including heart disease.

According to the American Heart Association, people with gum disease are twice as likely to have heart disease as those without. This is because the bacteria that cause gum disease can enter the bloodstream and travel to other parts of the body, including the heart, where they can cause inflammation and damage to the blood vessels. Over time, this can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.
