Brush your teeth to save your heart (Go To Top)

     Washington: People who underestimate the importance of keeping their mouths clean and healthy may be exposing themselves towards the risk of a possible heart-attack , say two studies published in the Journal of Periodontology. According to Vincent J. Iacono, DMD and the president of the American Academy of Periodontology, It is like setting up a garbage dump on the edge of a river. You wouldn't be surprised if the lake downstream ended up polluted with the garbage from the dump." A patient's bloodstream acts very much like the river in this analogy, in that it carries the bacteria from the periodontal plaques (possibly 'polluting' the arteries of the heart with periodontal bacteria) causing inflammation of the arteries which may lead to a heart-attack." This potential effect of periodontal bacteria further supports the need for periodic deep cleanings to enhance overall health and well-being ,he added. It was found that the amount of bacteria in sub-gingival plaques, the deep plaques in periodontal pockets and around the teeth, may contribute to an individual's risk of a heart-attack. In one of the studies, researchers looked at the cases of 150 individuals with periodontal diseases. They found that the total number of periodontal bacteria in sub-gingival plaques was higher in individuals who have suffered from an acute heart-attack. In another study, the observations stated that the same DNA from different kinds of periodontal bacteria in plaque was also in the patients' heart arteries. At present we are advising patients that maintaining good periodontal health can only help not hurt," Iacono concluded.
