For all of our irregular flossers.

Flossing may do more than protect your teeth and gums — new research suggests it could also be linked to a lower risk of certain types of stroke and an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AFib).

Researchers followed more than 6,000 adults for 25 years and found that people who flossed at least once a week had a lower risk of ischemic stroke, especially cardioembolic stroke — a type caused by blood clots traveling from the heart to the brain.

The study also found a lower risk of AFib among regular flossers. AFib is a common heart rhythm disorder that can increase stroke risk.

Scientists believe one possible reason is inflammation. Poor oral health and gum disease can trigger chronic inflammation in the body, which may affect blood vessels and heart health over time.

Compared to non-flossers, regular flossers showed:
• 22% lower risk of ischemic stroke
• 44% lower risk of cardioembolic stroke
• 12% lower risk of AFib

Researchers also noted that flossing alone is not enough to prevent stroke, but it may be one small part of an overall healthy lifestyle alongside proper diet, exercise, blood pressure control, sleep, and good oral hygiene.

Your mouth is connected to the rest of your body more than many people realize.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and is a reminder that taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your smile.

Stress, anxiety, and depression can affect every part of our health — including our oral health. Teeth grinding, jaw pain, dry mouth, and skipped dental visits are all common signs that mental health may be impacting overall wellness.

At our office, we believe dentistry is about more than teeth. It’s about caring for people with compassion, understanding, and support.

This month, take a moment to check in on yourself and those around you. A healthy smile starts with a healthy mind.
