Can Gum Disease Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Most people don’t associate oral health with sexual health, but research shows that poor gum health can lead to inflammation that damages blood vessels — including those that supply blood to the penis. Periodontal disease increases the risk of ED due to its effect on systemic circulation and inflammation.
How Oral Health Affects Erections
- Bacteria from infected gums enters bloodstream
- Triggers systemic inflammation and endothelial damage
- Reduces nitric oxide needed for erections
Prevention Tips
Brush twice daily, floss, and visit a dentist every 6 months. Combine with blood-flow supplements for maximum performance.
