Can Gum Disease Affect My Heart Health? The Oral-Systemic Link Explained
Yes, untreated gum disease directly increases your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Chronic oral inflammation acts as a persistent bacterial reservoir. When the tissues supporting your teeth are infected, periodontal pathogens enter your bloodstream through damaged capillary beds in the gums. This systemic migration triggers an elevated inflammatory response, accelerating arterial plaque accumulation (atherosclerosis) and increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.
At Near Me Therapy in Langley, BC, our Registered Dental Hygienists collaborate with our Chiropractors and Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) to eliminate subgingival calculus and biofilm, stopping oral bacteria from entering your circulatory system.
Whether you commute via Highway 1 from Willoughby or live in Brookswood or Murrayville, our integrative approach protects your vascular health through precise, evidence-informed clinical interventions.
