Here's How A Toothbrush Can Contribute To A Healthy Heart


Hi Everyone!

Your mouth and teeth are more important than you may think. In fact how you take care of your oral hygiene can contribute to how healthy your heart is! 

How do you look after the health of your heart? An active lifestyle? Balanced diet? Relaxation? What about a thorough teeth clean?
Current research shows that oral hygiene can have a dramatic impact on general health and, if neglected, can lead to other serious problems such as gum disease, diabetes and heart disease.
“If you have poor oral hygiene, you will have more harmful bacteria in your mouth than someone with better oral hygiene. This bacteria has the potential to enter the bloodstream through cuts or abrasions,” explains Dr Ben Atkins, dental practitioner and clinical director of Revive Dental Care, Manchester. “For example, the harmful bacteria that you can find within a dental abscess can enter your bloodstream and subsequently your heart and other areas of your body. There is a definite link between problems in the mouth, such as abscesses and gum disease, and heart disease.”
Now we bet you didn't know that!
