Heart Disease and Your Dental Health

There is a strong link between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease. Gum disease can greatly increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Clotting in the cardiovascular system can be caused by bacteria from the mouth. For patients that have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, it is very important to get regular cleanings and have good oral hygiene. Proper home care plays a big role as well. Brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day, as well as getting regular check ups and cleanings as prescribed by your dentist, will greatly reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth that can cause health problems. Don’t hesitate, call Smiles by Sands today (818) 766-6121 to schedule your professional dental examination and cleaning.
