Healthy Teeth Can Prevent Heart Problems
According to studies by the University of London and the University of Connecticut, carefully brush teeth, floss regularly and have good treatments at the dentist not only will you have a perfect white smile, but also help to health of his blood and heart.
The researchers conducted a test of 120 patients with severe problems of periodontitis (disease caused by bacteria in the gums). These people were recommended to address this problem through an intense treatment that involved removing bacteria, plaque, and the extraction of teeth that could not be saved.
At first, the intensive treatment resulted in an inflammation of blood vessels and arteries, but after 6 months, those receiving the treatment showed improvements in many gums and operation of vessels. In this regard, Peter Weissberg, medical director of the British Heart Foundation argued that “it is known that people with heart problems because of malfunctioning valves can worsen their situation if they neglect their dental hygiene.
Recent studies show that a neglected dental hygiene can cause even a heart attack and stroke. These important research shows direct evidence between dental health and proper functioning of the cardiovascular organs.
Later we will know whether it also can reduce levels of heart problems in this group of patients and prevent more than just a toothache.
The mechanism by which periodontitis affects cardiovascular function is still uncertain.
The gum disease are related to infections caused by bacteria that invade the tissues of the teeth. One possibility is that bacteria directly obstruct the heart and blood vessels because some bacteria can enter the bloodstream. Another possibility is that periodontitis causes inflammation in response to the body, which can be harmful on the vascular wall.
