Understanding the Connection Between Oral Health & Heart Health

 
Oral health is an important aspect of a healthy and fulfilling life. It's not just about having a great smile; it's about looking after your overall well-being. Research has shown an association between oral health and heart health. Poor oral hygiene can elevate the risk of developing periodontal disease (gum disease), which can increase the amount of bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation throughout the body, including the arteries that lead to the heart. It is thought that inflammation from gum disease or plaque build-up might result in heart problems such as arteriosclerosis, arrhythmias, and stroke.
