The pockets can grant access to bacterias and other toxins to spread below the gum line which is full of blood vessels.

Gum diseases occur due to the bacterias in dental plaques that are formed on your teeth. Poor dental hygiene practice aids in the growth of plaque bacterias and eventually damages the teeth and gums. Bacteria from gum disease can cause the carotid arteries to thicken making it harder for your blood to flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Lifestyle choices<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad habits like smoking or drinking, not exercising, not practicing proper dental hygiene, and not eating a well-balanced diet can all contribute to bad oral and overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gum Disease Prevention for Heart health<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brushing teeth and tongue at least twice a day with a Fluoride toothpaste<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flossing in between teeth at least once a day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinsing with mouthwash<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refrain from smoking cigarettes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay hydrated (water with Fluoride is recommended)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain a healthy diet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule dental visits every six months for regular cleaning and check-ups<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be observant of your current dental state, if you experience anything that is worrying you, seek professional health as early as possible for urgent treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is always essential to maintain good oral health to prevent or reduce the risk of Heart Diseases or any other health complications.
