Healthy gums don't bleed. If they bleed when brushing, that is usually a sign of inflammation (gingivitis) — the precursor to periodontitis.
Why it affects the whole body
Chronic inflammation in the mouth rarely stays local. It can burden the body and is associated with other conditions. Healthy gums are also the basic prerequisite for stable implants.
Caught early, inflammation of the periodontium is very treatable.
Regular professional dental cleaning and consistent aftercare are the best protection — for your teeth and your body.
