What Is the HealthyGumz™ Tool?

The result? A personalized gum health score—plus clear, actionable insights to help you prevent disease progression or support healing.

- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Stroke and cognitive decline
- Pregnancy complications
- Joint and autoimmune issues
HealthyGumz™ empowers patients with insight, not just treatment. It helps you visualize the bigger picture of how your oral health impacts your systemic wellness, and how small changes can make a meaningful difference.

Designed for Prevention, Not Just Treatment
Whether you're managing early gum inflammation or have a history of periodontal disease, HealthyGumz™ helps you stay ahead of the curve. The more we understand your risk, the better we can prevent:
