It’s American Heart Health Month!
A healthy mouth can mean so much more than just a bright, white smile. In fact, did you know that the health of your mouth can affect the health of your heart and even your risk of stroke?
This American Heart Month, I want to share a surprising connection. The bacteria in your mouth can directly impact your risk of heart disease and stroke. In fact, a recent study just found that flossing just once a week can lower your risk of stroke by over 20%. This was discussed recently at the American Heart Association International Stroke Conference in Los Angeles.
Do You Have a Healthy Mouth?
Obviously, we want you to floss daily. Bacteria buildup leads to inflammation and gum disease, which strain your heart and your overall health.
The good news? Regular dental cleanings and checkups can help protect your smile and your heart for the long run. If it’s been a while, schedule your appointment today.
We want you to have a brilliant smile and a healthy heart!
