Gum disease and heart disease seem to be are two different health problems. But is it true that both of these diseases are related? At least that's discovered by research.
Although the research is still ongoing and the conclusions drawn are still not round, but had a lot of research that shows the existence of a link between oral health (teeth and gums) and heart health.
In previous studies, patients who experience heart problems are known to have problems with the mouth and gums more than people not exposed to heart problems. Heart problems can occur when there is a narrowing or blockage in the blood vessels, as reported by the Times of India (19/09).
It is known that bacteria from the mouth can get into the blood stream through the gums or teeth that are perforated. These bacteria may cause blood clots in blood vessel walls or heart. This hypothesis explains that these bacteria later cause a blockage and a heart problem.
In addition to heart problems, there are also some other health problems believed related to the health of your gums, such as diabetes, low weight, injuries during childbirth on stomach, lung infections, and erectile dysfunction. However, the link between these diseases with gum disease have also been the subject of research and debate to this day.
Although the research is still not entirely clear and still a debate, but there is no harm in maintaining hygiene and oral health (teeth and gums) in order to prevent the existence of other diseases that attack our body.
