The Heart of the Matter
When gum disease (periodontitis) is present, the mouth becomes a source of chronic inflammation. Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and travel to other parts of the body, including the heart. This has been linked to:

• Endocarditis: An infection of the inner lining of your heart chambers or valves.
• Arterial Plaque: Inflammation can contribute to the buildup of plaque in your arteries, increasing the risk of stroke or heart attacks

The Kidney Connection

The relationship between oral health and kidney function is a “two-way street.” Chronic kidney disease can lead to oral health issues like dry mouth and bone loss in the jaw. Conversely, the chronic inflammation caused by gum disease can put additional strain on the kidneys as they work to filter the blood.
