  • High prevalence: Studies indicate that around 60% of adults over 65 have gum disease. 
  • Increased risk with age: The likelihood of developing gum disease increases significantly with age.
  •  Bacterial growth, commonly referred to as plaque, ranks as the primary cause of gum disease
  • .Light therapy improves gum health Studies have shown that exposure to blue light kills bacteria within 15 to 60 seconds and thus promotes the healing of the gum. 
  • Blue light primarily targets and kills harmful oral bacteria,  it selectively eliminates bacteria associated with gum disease and plaque while leaving beneficial oral bacteria unharmed
  • Complications of gum disease Research has shown that gum disease has a direct impact on overall health. There’s a link between gum disease and other health issues like heart disease, stroke and dementia
