Many people think gum disease only affects the mouth — but its impact can extend throughout the body.

Periodontal (gum) disease is more than bleeding gums or loose teeth.
It is a chronic inflammatory infection that allows oral bacteria and inflammatory mediators to enter the bloodstream, influencing multiple organ systems.

Scientific research has linked untreated periodontal disease with:

🔹 Cardiovascular disease – increased risk due to chronic inflammation

🔹Diabetes – a bidirectional relationship affecting blood sugar control

🔹Respiratory diseases – aspiration of harmful oral bacteria

🔹Rheumatic conditions – inflammation-related joint involvement

🔹Neurodegenerative disorders – including associations with Alzheimer’s disease

The mouth is not separate from the body.
It is a gateway to systemic health.
Maintaining healthy gums through professional dental care, daily oral hygiene, and early periodontal treatment is not cosmetic dentistry — it is preventive medicine.

Happy New Year, 2026! 🎉✨

Celebrate smart, celebrate safe!
Iwas paputok — torotot at ibang ligtas na pampaingay na lang.
Huwag hayaang maglaro ng paputok ang bata, at umiwas sa illegal fireworks.
Uminom nang responsable, at huwag magmaneho kung nakainom.
Protect your barkada, family, and community.

Let’s start the year na payapa, healthy, at walang aksidente!❤️

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a significant public health concern worldwide. It can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a stage where the body became highly vulnerable to infections and diseases. Despite this, it is important to emphasize that HIV is manageable, and individuals who are diagnosed early and receive proper treatment can live long, healthy, and productive lives.

In commemoration of World AIDS Day, the University Health Services, in partnership with Bulacan State University - Gender And Development Center and Republika Community Center by Usbong ng Bulakenyo Inc is strengthening its commitment to raising awareness and supporting the health and well-being of our campus community. As part of this global observance, we will be offering FREE and CONFIDENTIAL HIV TESTING on campus on December 01, 2025.

Through this initiative, we aim to provide accessible, safe, and stigma-free testing services to our students, faculty, and staff. Participants will undergo a brief assessment, pre-test counseling, rapid HIV testing, and post-test counseling conducted by trained professionals. All procedures and results will be handled with utmost confidentiality and care, with appropriate referrals provided when needed.

We encourage the entire university community to take part in this health service. Knowing one’s status not only empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health but also contributes to a safer and more aware community.

For inquiries or further information, please reach out to us through our official page. Your health, privacy, and well-being remain our priority.

If gums bleed while brushing, it’s like your skin bleeding when touched — a clear sign of inflammation, not “brushing too hard.”

Bleeding gums are an early symptom of gingivitis, caused by bacterial plaque that irritates gum tissues and weakens the fine capillaries beneath. Healthy gums never bleed — even slightly.

When left untreated, gingivitis can advance to periodontitis, where infection damages the supporting bone. This can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss — often without pain until it’s severe.

The solution isn’t to brush harder. It’s to get a professional cleaning (scaling), improve brushing technique, and floss daily. Once the infection subsides, the bleeding stops — and that’s the real sign of gum health.

With the rise in flu-like cases this season, the University Health Services reminds everyone to take extra precautions to protect your health and the well-being of our community.

We strongly encourage everyone especially those experiencing flu-like symptoms to consistently and properly wear face masks, particularly in crowded or enclosed areas on and off campus. This simple measure significantly helps reduce the spread of respiratory infections such as influenza.

Additionally, please continue practicing good hygiene habits:

• Wash or sanitize your hands regularly
• Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
• Stay home if you are feeling unwell

Let’s all do our part to keep our campus safe and healthy.

Stay safe and healthy, BulSUans!
