Importance of a Dental check up
Gum disease (periodontitis) can be associated with an increased risk of developing heart disease.A review of several published studies finds that gum disease is, by itself, a risk factor for coronary artery disease.
Poor dental health may increase the risk of a bacterial infection in the blood stream, which may affect the heart valves. Oral health may be particularly important if you have artificial heart valves.Tooth loss patterns are connected to coronary artery disease.There is a connection between diabetes and cardiovascular disease and evidence that people with diabetes benefit from periodontal treatment.
