The Connection Between Oral Health and Heart Disease



Your Smile Affects More Than You Think

At Marinaside Dental, we believe in whole-body health. Studies show a strong link between oral health and cardiovascular disease, reinforcing the importance of routine dental check-ups in Yaletown.

How Are the Mouth and Heart Connected? 

Poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, which allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation throughout the body, potentially contributing to heart problems.

Key Signs to Watch For

  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • Bad breath
  • Loose teeth
  • Chronic gum infections

What You Can Do?

  • Brush and floss daily
  • Maintain regular dental cleanings
  • Treat gum issues early
  • Talk to your dentist if you have a heart condition
