A report published on the Express website revealed a strong relationship between oral health and gum and dental problems, heart health and blood vessel disease, as it was found that the mouth is one of the parts of the body that, if not taken care of, can have a significant impact on your heart.
The researchers explained that reducing the risk of heart disease is in other factors more than just the foods you eat, after researchers concluded that your risk of developing your teeth has become a sudden risk factor for heart disease, so reducing dental problems and healthy gums reduces the risk of coronary artery blockage.
The researchers noted that people with periodontal disease are twice as likely to develop heart disease, as there is a strong association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease.
The report stressed the importance of daily flossing, which protects against the risk of heart disease. If gum disease or periodontitis is left untreated, it can increase the risk of all kinds of health conditions including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even dementia.
Researchers have linked oral and cardiovascular health, especially as inflammation can lead to periodontal disease And blockage of arterial plaque, and harmful mouth bacteria or infection in the gums, may infiltrate the bloodstream and affect the body, as dental infections can also cause heart palpitations because the body is fighting to control the infection, so the heart has to work harder to circulate during these times.
The researchers also found that bacteria that infect the gums and cause gingivitis and periodontitis as well, may travel to blood vessels elsewhere in the body where they cause inflammation and damage to blood vessels, which can lead to small blood clots, heart attacks and stroke as well. The need to maintain the health of the mouth and teeth and clean them periodically.
