According to studies conducted by The University of London and the University of Connecticut, carefully brushing teeth, using dental floss regularly and have good treatments at the dentist not only will you have a white and perfect smile, but also help health of their blood and heart. Researchers conducted a test on 120 patients with severe problems of periodontitis (a disease caused by bacteria in the gums).
 
 These people were recommended to address this problem through an intensive treatment that included the elimination of bacteria, plaque, and the extraction of the tooth no longer be salvaged. Initially, the intensive treatment resulted in an inflammation of blood vessels and arteries, but after 6 months, those receiving the treatment showed much improvement in their gums and the functioning of their blood vessels.
 
 It is known that people with heart problems because of malfunctioning valves may worsen their situation if they neglect their dental hygiene. Recent studies show that a neglected dental hygiene may even cause a heart attack and stroke. These important investigations show a clear correlation between dental health and proper functioning of the cardiovascular organs. Later we can know whether you can also reduce levels of heart problems in this group of patients, and avoid more than just a toothache. "The mechanism by which periodontitis affects cardiovascular function is still uncertain. Gum disease are related to infections caused by bacteria that invade the tissues of the teeth. One possibility is that obstruct the bacteria directly to the heart and blood vessels as some bacteria can enter the bloodstream. Another possibility is that periodontal disease causes an inflammation response on the body, which can be harmful on the vessel wall.
