Tooth cleaning lowers risk of heart problems
ORLANDO (FLORIDA) - Regular visits to the dentist for tooth cleaning may provide more than just a brighter smile.
According to data compiled by researchers in Taiwan, people who had their teeth professionally scraped and cleaned had a 24 per cent lower risk of heart attack and 13 per cent lower risk of stroke compared to those who never had a dental cleaning.
Poor oral hygiene has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
The researcher who presented the findings of the multi-year study at the American Heart Association scientific meeting in Orlando on Sunday surmised that professional tooth cleaning appears to reduce inflammation-causing bacterial growth that can lead to heart disease.
“Protection from heart disease and stroke was more pronounced in participants who got tooth scaling at least once a year,” said Dr Zu-Yin Chen, a cardiology fellow at Veterans General Hospital in Taipei, who presented the findings.
