Your Mouth Your Health

Most people think of dental care as something separate from the rest of their health. 

But the research tells a different story. 


A new scientific statement from the American Heart Association, published in their flagship journal Circulation, confirms a growing body of evidence linking gum disease with a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.


The statement notes that the association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease is stronger than previously recognized.


That is one of the most respected medical organizations in the world saying that what happens in your mouth has consequences far beyond your smile. 


How the connection works


Gum disease is not just a dental problem. It is an infection


Research has found remnants of oral bacteria inside atherosclerotic blood vessels far from the mouth. The same immune response attacking your gums circulates through your body, contributing to the kind of low-grade inflammation now understood to be a major driver of cardiovascular disease.


What this means for you


If you have been putting off dental care, this is worth thinking about. Not because a single dental visit will protect your heart, but because your oral health is part of your overall health in ways most people are only beginning to understand.


At Asenjo One Visit Dentistry, patients who come to us with severe gum disease and years of neglected dental care are not just dealing with a smile problem. They are dealing with a systemic inflammation issue their whole body is managing.


Restoring your smile is one part of what we do. Giving your body a healthier foundation is the other.
