What Happens in the Mouth Doesn’t Stay in the Mouth

Unlike Las Vegas, What Happens in the Mouth Doesn’t Stay in the Mouth.

 

Recent research has discovered there are about 19,000 kinds of bacteria that cause Tooth Decay.

And the germs that cause tooth decay don’t stay in the mouth.  The Blood in the plaque-covered gums circulates and takes the gems into the heart and the brain.

 

There is rising suspicion that many heart attacks start from tiny infections in the lining of the heart caused by these cavity causing bacteria that have spread from the mouth to the heart.

 

Anyone who has already had a stroke or heart attack needs to make sure their mouths are extremely clean.

 

But we often notice that people with life-threatening cardiac or brain problems let their oral hygiene slide--setting them up for another attack.

 

It’s a big mistake to trivialize mouth hygiene—when it could be the big difference in staying alive.  And it starts with a cleaning at the dental office.

 

We have the special cleaning solutions that can rid the mouth of the infections that are seeding heart attacks and brain attacks.
