How The Tooth Pierces The Heart!!!



Heart Attacks:

The most common strain of bacteria in dental plaque
can cause blood clots that induce heart attacks when
they escape into the bloodstream.

Studies have found the incidences of heart disease are
about twice as high in people with periodontal (gum)
disease.

Periodontal disease is an infection that destroys the
gum surrounding your teeth and also destroys the
supporting bone that holds your teeth in place.



Incidence of Periodontal Disease: Unlike most diseases
that give us early warning signs, gum disease
progresses silently, often without pain. It may
develop slowly or progress quite rapidly. More than
half of all people over 18 have at least the early
stages of periodontal disease. Even more frightening,
after the age of 35, three out of four people are
affected to some degree.



Determining Periodontal Disease:

Early Warning Signs of Periodontal Disease are

The Gums bleed when you brush your teeth.
Gums become red, swollen, or tender.
Gums are pulled away from the teeth.
Pus oozes between teeth and gums when gums are
pressed.
Permanent teeth get loose or separate.
Persistent bad breathe.


Your dentist can help you better understand
periodontal disease and how you can prevent it. He can
quickly and painlessly check and monitor the condition
of your gums during your recare appointments.

Evidence is mounting relating gum disease to a
variety of health concerns, some that are life
threatening

Plaque bacteria threatens your teeth, gums,
restorative and cosmetic work; possibly even your life


By keeping regular re-care appointments with your
dentist, you help increase your chances for a long and
happy life.
