Swallowing wrongly? study links tongue thrust to worse gum disease
NCT ID NCT07534306
First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at 125 adults with gum disease to see how many also have atypical swallowing—where the tongue pushes against teeth incorrectly. Researchers checked tongue posture and used questionnaires to find links between these swallowing patterns and dental problems like loose teeth. The goal was to better understand how swallowing habits might worsen gum health, not to test a treatment.
