Heart Surgeon Reveals Shocking Link Between Oral Hygiene and Heart Disease
Heart Health Alert: Surgeon Reveals Shocking Oral Hygiene-Heart Disease Link Millions die each year from heart disease, making it a global health crisis. But a surprising connection between oral hygiene and heart health is emerging, thanks to Dr. Jeremy London, MD, a heart surgeon. In a recent video, Dr. London explains how poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease and infections, which can spread bacteria to the heart, causing severe complications and even the need for open-heart surgery. "Poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, which can lead to infection," explains Dr. London. "This increases whole-body inflammation and, in severe cases, can seed the bloodstream with bacteria." These bacteria can then attach to heart valves, causing life-threatening infections. Dr. London's message is clear: "Brush and floss your teeth twice a day and see your dentist twice a year." This simple advice can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease. He concludes by reminding viewers of the staggering statistics: Heart disease claims over 19 million lives annually worldwide. Taking preventative measures, like maintaining good oral hygiene, is crucial in the fight against this leading cause of death. Dr. London's video serves as a powerful reminder that even small changes can have a significant impact on overall health. By promoting simple, effective practices, we can work towards a healthier future for all.
