Η περιοδοντική υγεία και η υγεία της καρδιάς είναι αλληλένδετες.
Studies have found that poor oral health—especially gum disease—is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. When gums are inflamed or infected, harmful bacteria and inflammatory markers can enter the bloodstream, travel to the heart, and contribute to the formation of arterial plaque. This can increase the chances of blood vessel blockages and other serious heart conditions over time.
Simple daily habits like brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups can make a big difference. Researchers have even found that people who floss weekly have a significantly lower risk of stroke. So maintaining good oral hygiene isn’t just about protecting your teeth—it’s also an important step in protecting your heart.
