The link between gum disease and heart disease has been long established, but only until very recently have we understood a possible explanation. Experts in the United Kingdom found that the bacteria that enters the bloodstream via gum disease contains clot-forming proteins, which when introduced to the bloodstream, could result in the arterial plaques that cause heart disease.

While scientists continue to research the link between gum disease and heart disease, one thing is for certain: maintaining healthy gums is not just good for your smile, but your overall health, as well.
