Las Vegas, NV – February 20, 2025 – Somerset Dental Las Vegas, under the care of Dr. Sufia Palluck, emphasizes the significant connection between oral health and systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Neglecting oral hygiene can put overall health at risk, leading to chronic conditions.

Oral Health and Cardiovascular Disease:
Research has shown that gum disease may contribute to cardiovascular issues, including heart disease. Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream, triggering inflammation, which may lead to the buildup of plaque in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Oral Health and Diabetes:
Diabetes and oral health have a close relationship. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels increase the risk of gum disease, while untreated gum disease can make it harder to manage diabetes, creating a dangerous cycle that worsens both conditions.

Dr. Sufia Palluck and the team at Somerset Dental Las Vegas encourage patients to stay proactive in their oral care. Regular dental checkups, cleanings, and good hygiene practices are essential in preventing gum disease and reducing the risk of related systemic health issues.
