Poor dental health in general, including multiple root canal treatments or untreated tooth infections, have a higher risk of heart attacks.
However, it needs to be noted that root canals infections do not cause heart attacks directly, but untreated infections and poor oral hygiene can be risk factors.
Root canal treatment itself may sometimes be a marker indicating previous or ongoing dental infections that contribute to the heart risk.
True! It’s not the root canal that causes heart problems, it’s usually the untreated infections or poor dental hygiene behind it. Taking care of your oral health isn’t just about saving teeth, it’s about protecting your heart too.
Informative!
Thats insightful i didn’t know oral hygiene had anything to do with heart attack
Yes oral microbial flora alteration plays an important role with the poor oral hygiene
today i got to known even our dental hygiene linked with heart
Well explained. I didn’t know about the link between these too. Informative!
Very interesting to know
Great to know
Insightful, I wasn’t aware that poor oral hygiene could be a risk factor for heart attacks.
Yes, true that👍🏻
Yes!!! Also, I’m not very sure but one of the professor at my college told us about one of the oral microbe responsible for SABE(subacute bacterial endocarditis)
Wow it’s really interesting to know that even the root canal can effect the heart.
Crazy. Nobody can even think of this. Science is full of surprises.
Root canals aren’t directly linked to heart attack but it could be the risk factor indicating poor oral hygiene and habits that eventually deteriorates health
Very informative and clearly gave the explanation that root canal will not directly lead to heart attack. But if left untreated then it will lead to heart attack.
Yes Very Informative.
This shows how oral health is not only about teeth but also about our body. Even though not directly, but untreated infections can affect our body in different ways. This is one of the reasons dentist prescribe anti-biotics after dental procedure; it reduces the chance of infection in future.
True! Somehow every part of the body is connected to others.
