The millions and billions of bacteria and other microscopic critters in our mouth influence not only the health of our teeth and gums. They can also cause problems for your heart and blood vessels. Improving oral health prevents cardiovascular problems.

This is something that Harvard Heart Letter (2007) means is difficult to prove even if it is a fact. There are scientists who have found  several mechanisms that may connect the two processes. In people with periodontitis (erosion of tissue and bone that support the teeth), chewing and toothbrushing release bacteria into the bloodstream.

“Oral bacteria could also harm blood vessels and even  cause blood clots by releasing toxins that resemble proteins found in artery walls or the bloodstream. The immune system's response to these toxins could harm vessel walls or make blood clot more easily. It is also possible that inflammation in the mouth revs up inflammation throughout the body, including in the arteries, where it can lead to heart attack and stroke” (.http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/heart-disease-oral-health).

There are several studies that show how your dental healt can be very important when preventing coronary heart disease. There is a study where the researchers tried to examine the role of chronic bacterial infections as risk factors for the disease the association between poor dental health and acute myocardial infarction. Two separate case-control studies of a total of 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 102 controls selected from the community at random were investigated.

Dental health was graded by using two indexes, one of which was assessed blind. Based on these indexes dental health was significantly worse in patients with acute myocardial infarction than in controls. The association remained valid after adjustment for age, social class, smoking, serum lipid concentrations and the presence of diabetes (Kimmo J Mattila, Markku S Nieminen, Ville V Valtonen, Vesa P Rasi, Y Antero Kesaniemi, Satu L Syrjala, Peter S Jungell, Martti Isoluoma, Katariina Hietaniemi, Matti J Jokinen,Jussi K Huttunen. 1989).

This means that it has been known since a long time that your dental health is not only about the health of your mouth but it can lead to serious problems with your heart and actually kill you.

This sounds quite scaring, can bacteria in my mouth lead to heart attack and stroke? The answer is yes, it can.

It is time to take your dental health seriously and not only brush your teeth because your mother told you to do it every morning and every evening. Believe me; this can save your life!

You can of course use your usual toothbrush but actually there are better choices like Emmi-Dent ultrasonic

You can compare the conventional cleaning and Emmi-Dent ultrasonic and you get the following results:

1. Conventional cleaning

* manually, electric / acoustic

Cleaning by mechanical grinding using abrasive substances within toothpaste (RDA value: 70-130) => high risk by damaging gum & tooth enamel.

Mechanical revolutions (30 to 35,000 rev / min.) => unpleasant friction.

Cleans where the bristles end up and where they can abrade.

Usually still other necessaries and tools, such as dental floss, interdental brushes, irrigator and more.

Dental care only in areas that are accessible to the toothbrush (surface) => no cleaning of deeper lying tissues, regular dental visits for prophylaxis necessary => high costs.

No therapeutic effect.

2. Emmi-Dent ultrasonic dental hygiene

* 100% ultrasonic

Motionless cleaning (no brushes, less gum irritation).
No abrasive particles (RDA value 0).
No gum and tooth enamel damage.

Up to 96 million oscillations per minute (pleasant micro-massage).

Purifies by implosion of micro-bubbles even the smallest cavities, fissures and gingival pockets.

Lightens discolorations caused by wine, nicotine and food; gradually.

Ultra Clean - rarely extra tools needed.

Perfect care for the whole dentition, gingival pockets trapped; eliminates bacteria up to 12mm deep in the tissue and protects also implants.

Therapeutic effect within a few days, even in advanced, acute cases (for example - inflammatory and aphthae).

Note: 
"Do not be confused by large advertising budgets of so called big and well-known companies: A sonic toothbrush does NOT use ultrasonic! As the comparison shows, there are fundamental differences. ”Be cool, go out and SMILE https://emmi-club.de/?affil_nr=2223.
