Your oral health can play a significant part in the overall health of your body and, in particular, your heart health.

Page 3: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

A number of studies indicate that poor dental hygiene can be associated with a number of health conditions.

Page 4: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

The link between poor dental hygiene and heart disease has been confirmed a number of times.

If you want to maintain a healthy heart throughout your life, commit to daily dental care and seeing your dentist regularly.

BACTERIA AND YOUR HEART HEALTH

Page 8: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

Studies suggest that bacteria from the mouth can move into the bloodstream and cause changes in C-reactive protein, a marker associated with inflammation of the blood vessels.

Page 9: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

This inflammation can increase the risk for heart disease and stroke.

Page 10: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

Evidence indicates that this bacterium is linked to endocarditis, an infection of the lining of the heart muscle, and other health problems.

Rigorous dental hygiene can help to reduce the amount of bacteria that enters the bloodstream to prevent these health issues.

GUM DISEASE AND YOUR HEART

Page 13: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

The neglect of dental hygiene often leads to periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease.

Page 14: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

Taking care of your teeth daily can help to reduce the risk of gum disease and associated health problems.

HEALTHY EATING

Page 16: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

Bacteria are not the only enemy of heart health. Eating a healthy diet is a critical factor in keeping your heart healthy.

Page 17: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

Unfortunately; loose or missing teeth can interfere with eating, and this, in turn, can affect your nutrition and your overall health.

Cosmetic dentists can help to restore teeth, so that you can eat foods that improve your health, in addition to improving your appearance.

Page 19: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

Nutrition experts recommend eating the following foods to maintain heart health:

Page 20: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart

Low-fat protein sources, such as chicken, turkey, fish and eggs.

Low-fat dairy products, such as fat-free milk, low-fat yogurt and low-fat cheeses.

Legumes, such as beans, lentils and peas.

Increased amounts of vegetables of all kinds.
