The connection between oral health and heart disease has been the subject of many studies. Poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, which allows harmful bacteria to enter the bloodstream and potentially contribute to heart conditions like endocarditis. Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups can reduce your risk. At West Roxbury Dental Arts, we take a holistic approach to your health, emphasizing the importance of oral care for your overall well-being.
