BRUSH AWAY HEART ATTACKS? According to the most recent piece of research that links oral hygiene with overall health, people may be able to lower their heart attack risk by brushing their teeth more often. It seems that researchers have found that people with the most germs in their mouths are the most likely to experience heart attacks. While Tannerella forsynthesis and Prevotella intermedia were found to be the most common bacteria in the mouth of heart attack victims, the most common indicator of heart attack risk was the total amount of bacteria in heart patients’ mouths. With this in mind, researchers are underscoring the importance of tooth-brushing and regular exams in minimizing heart attack risk. “The more germs you have in your mouth, the more likely you are to have a heart attack, suggest new research that adds to a growing body of evidence linking oral hygiene with 151562

overall health.” There’s no better place to start than by establishing a solid foundation for dental health through an individualized, detailed preventive care program. And we’ll involve you in every step. UNION DENTAL CENTER is located at 201 South Union Ave., Havre de Grace. Please call 410-939-3950 to schedule an appointment.
