Want to avoid future risk of heart attack? Keep brushing your
teeth regularly says a new study. Researchers have found that people
suffering oral infection also often have cardiovascular problems
and have discovered a particularly strong link between periodontitis and
strokes, especially among men and younger people. A high dose of the commonly
prescribed medication, atorvastatin, which boosts bloods levels of
anti-in-flammatory fats called lipoxins and resolvins, prevents both gum and
heart disease in human and even reverses it. Researchers described the discovery as ‘existing and promising because lipoxins and resolvins also have the advantage
naturally controlling inflammation without
suppressing the immune system.
Researchers Dr. Thomas van dyke said unraveling and inflammation
in cardiovascular disease could lead to new preventive and treatment
approaches, significant epidemiological evidence supports, particularly
periodontitis and stroke, especially among men and younger individuals .
Inflammation plays a major role both in gum and cardiovascular disease,
However, over the counter non steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs such as
ibuprofen can produce significant cardiovascular side effects which means it is
crucial alternative therapies are found.
Dr Van Dyke recommends
peoples take better care of their teeth to potentially lower their risk of
cardiovascular disease and other heath problems.
