The Link Between Oral Hygiene and Heart Health

Maintaining good oral hygiene is linked to heart health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, which, when left unchecked, can cause chronic inflammation and release harmful substances into the bloodstream, contributing to the development of heart disease. Brushing and flossing regularly, attending dental check-ups, adopting a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and managing stress are key steps to safeguard both your oral and cardiovascular health.
