We discuss today about a strong link between Gum Disease and Alzheimer’s. Periodontitis, a chronic bacterial infection of the gums, is often caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a key periodontal pathogen. This bacterium and its toxic enzymes, known as gingipains, can enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain, triggering an immune response. One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease is the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques, which disrupt neural function. Recent studies suggest
