Gum health is part of how the whole body ages. Longevity dentistry treats gum inflammation as a whole-body health issue and tracks it over time, instead of waiting for bone loss to show up on an x-ray.
Research has linked gum disease with heart and blood vessel disease and with diabetes, and with diabetes the link runs in both directions. A link is not proof that one causes the other, which is exactly why this section cites the research behind every claim and lets you read it yourself.
