❤️ Your smile and your heart may be more connected than you think.
The American Heart Association’s latest Scientific Statement highlights growing evidence that gum disease and poor oral health may be linked to an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. When harmful bacteria from the mouth enter the bloodstream, they can contribute to chronic inflammation that may affect the heart and blood vessels.
The good news? Healthy habits make a difference. Brushing, flossing, and keeping up with regular dental checkups can help protect your oral health—and may support your overall health, too.
