ORAL BACTERIA CAN TRAVEL TO THE HEART 🫀

Scientists have discovered something shocking — bacteria commonly found in dental plaque have been detected inside the arteries and even heart tissue of patients who suffered heart attacks.

How does this happen?
When gums are inflamed or diseased, bacteria can slip into the bloodstream through tiny breaks in gum tissue. Once in circulation, they may contribute to inflammation in blood vessels, accelerating cardiovascular damage.

This doesn’t mean oral bacteria directly cause heart disease, but their presence shows how strongly the mouth and heart are connected. Ignoring gum health could silently fuel risks far beyond the mouth.

Current research suggests that keeping gums healthy through regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings isn’t just about saving teeth — it could also help protect the heart.

A single untreated cavity is more than just a dental problem—it’s an open pathway for bacteria to enter the body. Once decay reaches the inner layers of the tooth, harmful microbes can slip into the bloodstream.

From there, these bacteria don’t just stay local. They travel. And in some cases, they reach the heart, triggering a dangerous condition called infective endocarditis—an infection of the heart’s inner lining that can be life-threatening.

Research shows that oral infections increase the body’s inflammatory burden, putting extra strain on the cardiovascular system. This connection between the mouth and the heart is one of the strongest examples of how oral health directly impacts overall health.

What begins as a small, ignored cavity can silently put the heart at risk. Timely dental treatment, regular checkups, and proper oral hygiene aren’t just about saving teeth—they’re about protecting life itself.
