Dental health is connected to general health. Poor dental health and gum disease can increase the risk of heart disease due to bacteria that circulates in the bloodstream, causing inflammation.

– Gum disease can be prevented or reversed by good oral hygiene and regular examination by your dentist.
– Smoking encourages bad bacteria and increases the risk of gum disease.
– If you eat a lot of sugar or acidic foods, drink water to rinse your mouth and teeth afterwards.
Brushing twice a day can help prevent gum disease and keep your heart healthy too.
