All health experts agree that there is a link between oral health and heart health.

But the researchers are of the opinion that there is still room for research on the fact that the maintenance of the teeth directly affects the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and heart problems as a whole.

The debate about poor oral health as a major cause of heart disease continues to rage, and AgroWeb.org brings you a full assessment of the situation.

Previous studies

In 2012, experts and researchers concluded through scientific data that poor oral hygiene did not result in a significant deterioration of heart health.

And curing various gum diseases did not prevent serious heart disease.

Latest scientific data

However, many subsequent studies consulted by AgroWeb.org show a concrete link between periodontosis (gum disease) and other diseases, including serious heart problems.

Research suggests that periodontitis is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

People with chronic gum disease, reports AgroWeb.org, also suffer from a narrowing of the blood veins located in the neck, which directly affect the heart.

There is another very strong link between diabetes and heart disease and evidence that those suffering from diabetes have an improvement when they have had a professional cleaning at the dentist.

How to maintain oral health?

And because oral hygiene is not the key point of heart disease prevention, AgroWeb.org advises that its maintenance remains very important:

Brush your teeth at least twice a day.

Clean your teeth with dental floss.

Replace your toothbrush every three months, or as soon as its bristles begin to bend.

Schedule a regular visit with your dentist.

And if you're concerned about preventing heart disease, talk to your doctor about the best ways, such as quitting smoking or maintaining a healthy weight./ AgroWeb
