You know that thing I’m always going on about? Weeellllllll ….👇🏻

Research has found that inflamed gums aren’t just a mouth issue — they may signal inflammation happening throughout the body, including in the arteries of the heart.

Scientists discovered that the same bacteria found in gum disease can enter the bloodstream, trigger immune reactions, and accelerate artery plaque buildup — quietly increasing heart attack risk.

What’s shocking: patients with severe gum disease are twice as likely to suffer cardiovascular complications, even if they have no heart symptoms yet.

Regular dental cleanings and early gum treatment don’t just save teeth — they can literally protect your heart. The next check-up might be life-saving, not just smile-saving.

🦷 What Really Happens When a Tooth Is Lost

Losing a single tooth might seem harmless—but it silently triggers a chain reaction inside your mouth. The neighboring teeth begin to drift into the gap, while the opposing tooth over-erupts, disturbing your bite alignment and creating long-term jaw stress.

Over time, this shifting can lead to malocclusion, gum recession, bone loss, and even jaw joint discomfort. The balance of your entire mouth depends on each tooth maintaining its position—like gears in a well-fitted machine.

That’s why replacing a missing tooth (with an implant, bridge, or denture) isn’t just cosmetic—it’s preventive medicine. Restoring alignment early protects your bite, your smile, and your overall oral health for years to come.

Well today was a seminal day at WSS. Today was Flight Sergeant Jay Pickett’s last flight in the RAF. Jay is our flamingo Hayley’s partner and he arranged, as part of his final flight, to come and hover over the field outside the practice so we could all cheer him and wish him well. Both Jay and Hayley have served multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and it was with an immense sense of pride we gathered to pay our own tribute of thanks to these two amazing individuals.
