Omega-3 Fatty Acids Reduce Inflammation

A study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association found that omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can reduce key inflammatory markers, with 75% of participants showing significant improvement, as reported in the journal's February 2026 issue. This has implications for BDS dentists in preventing and treating periodontal disease.
