Parkinson's & Alzheimers Oral Health Support
How Is Gum Disease Related To Alzheimers & Parkinson's?
Gum disease is increasingly linked with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s due to ongoing inflammation and harmful bacteria that can spread beyond the mouth and affect the nervous system. Regular gum assessments can help identify and manage these risks early, supporting efforts to reduce progression.
At The Perio Centre, intensive periodontal treatment has shown promise in slowing disease progression by stabilising gum health and lowering ongoing infection. Early specialist intervention plays an important role in protecting oral health as part of a wider approach to long term neurological support.

What Is The Link Between Gum Disease And Alzheimers?
Gum disease has been linked to Alzheimer’s through chronic inflammation and oral bacteria that may enter the bloodstream and contribute to changes in the brain over time. As people age, declining oral health can increase this inflammatory load, making gum disease a growing concern in relation to Alzheimer’s.
Research into Alzheimer’s and oral health suggests that maintaining healthy gums may help reduce risk factors associated with cognitive decline. At The Perio Centre, Dr Simon Stern focuses on specialist periodontal care to support oral health as part of a broader approach to ageing and neurological wellbeing.
