    Gum disease and your heart health

    While gum disease often results in tooth decay and tooth loss, recent medical studies reveal the relationship between gum disease and other health conditions. Unfortunately, many people do not understand the potential damage that can cause gum disease and their cardiovascular system. Before learning how gum disease can cause medical problems related to a serious heart, it’s important to understand what it is and how it is caused.

    What is gum disease?

    Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is a condition that has an impact on the health of your gums and teeth through bacterial infections. Bacteria form plaque films in your teeth. If left unchecked, this bacterium can attack the gum where they tie with your teeth. In the end, bacteria can form bags that grow under your teeth. If the infection is not treated correctly, these pockets can widen to the point that your teeth become loose and even fall out.

    Recent studies show that those who suffer from gum disease are far more likely to suffer from heart disease. Although not entirely clear how the two conditions are related, significant evidence shows that the presence of gingivitis can be a reliable precursor for heart problems such as potential strokes and heart attacks. Furthermore, if the heart problem already exists, research shows that gum disease can worsen these symptoms.

    Potential causes of gum disease

    There are several factors that can play a role in the presence of gum disease and in the end can cause heart disease. First, those who use tobacco regularly (cigarettes, chewing tobacco, etc.) are more likely to be susceptible to periodontal disease. Research has shown that people who smoke half a pack of three times more likely to have gum disease rather than non-smokers. Those who smoke regularly are also susceptible to lung and heart disease.

    Second, those who have a bad diet may experience increased vulnerability to gum disease and heart-related diseases. A bad diet can often eliminate your body’s immune system needed nutrition needed to fight infection. Over time, this can damage your body’s ability to fight gum disease. Also, keep in mind that a bad diet can often cause obesity and other factors that play a role in developing heart disease.

    Third, stress can cause gum disease because your body is less able to fight infection. When you are too written, your body is less efficient to prevent infection such as gum disease increases. Many studies also show the relationship between high levels of stress and a disease related to the heart.

    How to prevent gum disease

    Prevent gum disease may be as simple as brushing and flossing every day. By devoting attention and attention to oral hygiene, you can dramatically reduce the chances of bacteria to build and cause problems. You can also prevent gum disease with no smoking, maintain a healthy diet and try to reduce the amount of stress in your life. Doing these things will also reduce the opportunity to develop heart disease.

    Again, the relationship between gum disease and heart disease is still unclear. However, when additional studies and tests are carried out, evidence continues to show that the relationship between the two conditions does exist. It may be one of the best things you can do to prevent gum disease and keep your heart health just use your toothbrush.
