Do you think the link between gingivitis and heart disease is ...? |
simply because people with gingivitis might not take responsible care of their bodies? Do you think there's actually a medical link between the two or just a coinsidence? The atheromas ("plaque") that clogs the coronary vessels has a large component of inflammatory infiltrate. A researcher was able to actually culture and grow the bacteria from such areas that are commonly found in the human mouth, most notably in people with gingivitis. That certainly implies a direct correlation. Anytime you get an infection in your mouth it affects your whole body. There is a real medical link - the bacteria is called Streptococcus Mutans.... That's why they give you an antibiotic prophylaxis before any major dental procedure. It protects your body from bacteria that might get into your blood stream through your mouth. And yes, that bacteria is indeed called Streptococcus mutans, it can cause endocarditis, a serious inflammation of the heart muscle. |
