February is American Heart Month, making it the perfect time to explore the link between oral health and cardiovascular well-being. Research has shown that poor dental hygiene can contribute to heart disease, making regular oral care essential. How Are Oral and Heart Health Connected?

These bacteria can enter the bloodstream, leading to inflammation in the arteries, which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. Signs of Gum Disease Red, swollen, or bleeding gums Persistent bad breath Receding gums Loose teeth  How to Protect Your Heart Through Oral Care Brush and floss daily to remove harmful bacteria. Use an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce plaque buildup. Avoid tobacco products, which contribute to gum disease and heart problems. Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups. By prioritizing oral health, you’re also taking steps to protect your heart.
