The Mouth-Body Connection
Living a healthy lifestyle can improve your quality of life for years to come. Proper oral hygiene habits are an essential part of maintaining dental health and protecting your heart’s health. Find out how the condition of your teeth affects your heart with this informative video.
The most common dental ailment associated with poor heart health is gum disease. Poor gum health is caused by a buildup of plaque and bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria can be absorbed by your blood stream and cause damage to your arteries, resulting in blockage. While poor dental habits don’t directly cause heart issues, periodontal disease could increase your risks for developing heart disease.
