# Is gum disease harmful to my health?

When periodontitis develops in its severe form, science and research has found that it can be related and associated with other health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes amongst other health conditions.

 

So, it’s important to remember that in treating your gum disease and getting control of that, you’re also helping other organ systems, body systems get as healthy as possible and reduce your risk of other health issues.
