Story at-a-glance

Bleeding, painful, or swollen gums could be an early warning sign of deeper health issues, including heart disease, depression, and diabetes, even before other symptoms show up
In a study of over 500,000 people, those with painful gums had a 54% higher risk of living with multiple chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease, anxiety, and alcohol-related illness
Pain is the strongest predictors of poor health, making it essential to take gum discomfort seriously and not brush it off
Researchers found that harmful oral bacteria escape through inflamed gums, enter the bloodstream, and trigger inflammation in distant organs including the brain, heart, and lungs
Addressing gum disease early by reducing inflammation, improving diet, and adopting a better oral care routine could lower your risk for serious long-term health problems
