  1. How Oral Health Affects Your Heart: The Connection You Should Know Having a bright smile is not the only aspect of maintaining proper dental hygiene. It also plays an important role in keeping your heart healthy. Many studies show that poor oral health can increase the risk of heart disease. At Sankardeva Hospital, a trusted dental hospital in Dibrugarh, our doctors explain why taking care of your teeth and gums is essential for your overall health. 1. The Mouth and Heart Connection Your mouth is full of bacteria. Most of them are harmless, but when you do not brush or floss regularly, harmful bacteria can build up. This can cause gum diseases like gingivitis or periodontitis. These infections can enter your bloodstream and cause inflammation in the blood vessels. Over time, this inflammation can affect the heart and increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. 2. Gum Disease and Heart Problems

  2. People with gum disease often have higher chances of developing heart disease. The bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and attach to blood vessel walls. This may cause blood clots or blockage, leading to heart-related problems. If you have bleeding gums, loose teeth, or persistent bad breath, you should visit a dental hospitalfor a checkup. 3. Oral Health and Blood Pressure Poor oral hygiene can also affect your blood pressure. Some studies show that treating gum disease helps reduce high blood pressure. Healthy gums support better blood circulation and lower inflammation throughout the body. 4. Simple Ways to Protect Both Teeth and Heart Taking care of your mouth is simple and can also protect your heart. Follow these easy steps: ● Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush. ● Floss daily to remove food particles between teeth. ● Visit your dentist every six months for regular checkups. ● Eat a balanced diet and avoid too much sugar. ● Avoid smoking and limit alcohol use. If you notice gum bleeding or tooth pain, do not ignore it. Early treatment can prevent bigger problems later. 5. When to Visit a Dentist You should visit a dental hospital in Dibrugarh if you have: ● Swollen or red gums ● Bad breath that does not go away ● Tooth sensitivity ● Pain while chewing ● Loose teeth Dentists at Sankardeva Hospital use modern tools and safe treatment methods to manage all dental problems effectively. Conclusion Ignoring dental care can lead to serious health problems in the long run. Regular dental visits, proper hygiene, and early care can help you stay healthy and prevent heart disease.
