Whole-health approach
Why Gum Health Is Whole-Body Health
Your smile doesn't end at your teeth, and neither does your health. Healthy gums act as a powerful first line of defence against harmful bacteria and inflammation. When gums are damaged, those same bacteria can travel through your bloodstream — affecting your heart, joints, lungs and even your brain.
Research has shown strong links between gum disease and serious conditions like:
- Heart disease and arterial plaque buildup
- Diabetes complications
- Respiratory infections
- Poor pregnancy outcomes
- Cognitive decline, including Alzheimer's disease

- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath or bad taste
- Gums that appear to be pulling away from the teeth
- Loose teeth or a change in how your teeth fit together

FAQs
Periodontics FAQs
What is gum disease?
Gum disease is the swelling, soreness or infection of the tissues supporting the teeth. There are two main types: gingivitis (early, reversible) and periodontal disease (more advanced, affecting bone and ligaments).
What are the 7 periodontal conditions?
Gingivitis, chronic periodontitis, aggressive periodontitis, necrotising periodontal diseases, periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases, abscesses of the periodontium, and combined periodontic-endodontic lesions.
Can gum disease be prevented?
Yes — good oral hygiene, regular brushing and flossing, professional cleans, avoiding tobacco, a balanced diet and managing stress all help. Your dentist can tailor advice to your individual needs.
What are the consequences of untreated gum disease?
Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, receding gums and damage to the supporting structures of the teeth. It has also been linked to systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes.
Do I have to do periodontal maintenance forever?
If you've had gum disease, yes. Ongoing periodontal maintenance prevents flare-ups and keeps your gums healthy long-term.
How long do teeth last with periodontitis?
With proper treatment and maintenance, many patients keep their teeth for decades. Without care, teeth can become loose and fall out as bone support is lost.
At what age can someone develop gum disease?
Gum disease can affect people of all ages. Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes (pregnancy or menopause) and a family history of gum disease.
How often should I have check-ups?
For most people, at least twice a year. If you have a history of gum disease or higher risk factors, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits for early detection.
