But new research is revealing something shocking ![]()
There is a strong link between gum disease (periodontitis) and Chronic Kidney Disease.
Studies show that people with severe gum infections are more likely to develop kidney problems.
And if you already have kidney disease, gum issues can make it worse faster.
What Science Says:
- A study published in the National Institutes of Health database found that
chronic inflammation from gum disease can damage blood vessels - including those in the kidneys.
- Research in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology shows:
People with periodontitis have a significantly higher risk of kidney decline.
- According to the American Kidney Fund, oral infections increase systemic inflammation, which is a major trigger for kidney damage
