Keep Teeth Caring Heart Disease

The mouth is the gate of our bodies. Unfortunately, the gate is filled with bacteria, even the amount exceeds the number of humans on earth. The majority of the bacteria are not harmful. Throughout the teeth and oral hygiene maintained and always prime the immune system, bacteria will control.

But if we are lazy to clean your teeth or immunity is weak, the bad bacteria can multiply. In one day it could be formed colonies of bacteria across the surface of the mouth and Formatting a sticky substance called plaque on the tooth surface. Over time, acid in the plaque will cause holes in teeth and gum disease.
Unfortunately, the bacteria in the mouth not only causes damage around the mouth, but also the organs of the body far, such as heart or kidney function.
Although rare, if the cavities left in place and not treated, bacterial pathogens in the mouth can enter the blood vessels and cause infection elsewhere. These bacteria can also cause inflammation in the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially if we had already had risk factors for disease.

Clean teeth twice a day and come to the dentist every six months," he said in the launching ceremony of the National Dental Health Month in cooperation with Pepsodent and the Association of Faculty of Dentistry, Indonesia in Jakarta a few time ago.
