Abstract This comprehensive review examines the intricate association between obesity and periodontal health. Over the years, research has unveiled a strong correlation between these two seemingly distinct health concerns. Obesity, characterized by excessive adipose tissue, is known to induce chronic inflammation throughout the body, including the oral cavity. This systemic inflammation is one of the key factors contributing to an increased susceptibility to periodontal disease in obese individuals. Furthermore, alterations in the oral microbiome in obese individuals can create an environment conducive to the growth of periodontal pathogens. This review highlights the various biological and behavioral mechanisms linking obesity and periodontal health, emphasizing the importance of both systemic health management and good oral hygiene practices in mitigating the risks associated with this relationship. Understanding this connection is vital for healthcare professionals in their efforts to improve overall health and quality of life for individuals dealing with obesity and periodontal issues.
