According to scientific evidence, including scientific
study led by Harvard Medical School, people who suffer from gum disease or
'periodontitis' have chances of developing coronary heart disease two times
greater than those who do not suffer from the disease. There is some debate as
to whether periodontitis causes or effects of heart disease, however, one
theory is that bacteria are involved in the inflammation of the gums can enter
the bloodstream and attaches to the fat layer on the walls of your coronary
arteries can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke and heart attack.
Dental health is very important, because it involves
the overall health, "said Chairman of the Board of the Indonesian Dentists
Association, drg. Rini Zaura Angraeni, in a press conference Indonesian Healthy
Smiles Campaign Now and Later at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII). Research
Team at New York State University indicates, the treatment of periodontal
disease (gum swelling) can lower levels of protein and fibrinogen, thus
associated with a higher risk of heart disease. Bacteria found in swollen gums
can enter the bloodstream and go to the main organ that cause new infections.
This disease can increase the risk of clogged arteries that raises risk of
heart disease and stroke. "Oral bacteria can enter the lungs causing
infection, particularly in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD), such as cancer, heart disease and others," said Zaura.
bacteria on the teeth is expected to damage the health
of the cardiovascular system in three ways:
1. Infections caused by dental plaque can cause injury to
the coronary artery wall.
2. People with unhealthy gums that tend to cause
inflammation so the risk of heart attack.
3. Gum disease can lead to blood clots. While the buildup
of cholesterol lead to the narrowing of the arteries, blood clots can shut
already narrowed arteries and stop blood flow. It triggers a heart attack or
stroke.
So, keep your gums and teeth always stay healthy to
make your heart to be healthy. Choose a toothpaste that match the condition of
your teeth. Do not forget, check your teeth to the dentist every 6 months. If
you are lazy, do 1 year. If you are lazy, check your teeth 10 years (not
recommended) ha ha haaaaaa.
