Baby Dental, Poor Dental Hygiene and Links to Heart Disease

Saturday, Jan. 23rd 2016 6:32 AM

A more established link between poor dental hygiene and over all health care is heart disease.  At the University of Bristol in the UK and the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland, found that people with bleeding gums from poor dental hygiene could be increasing their risk of heart disease.  The researchers found that heart disease risk increased because, in people who have bleeding gums, bacteria from the mouth is able to enter the bloodstream and stick to platelets, which can then form blood clots, interrupting the flow of blood to the heart and triggering a heart attack.
