That is surprising. I also think that if you eat less food, this will result in less damage to teeth and less staining of the teeth. Good luck.

how did they connect that? is it some new marketing for tooth brush?

flossing reduces heart disease also

something to do with the bacteria

Dentists will always ask you if you have recently had any major surgery before they clean your teethe, especially heart surgery, because the bacteria that gets knocked loose can cause a serious infection there.

This is also true with elderly people. Dentists will have them pre-medicate with antibiotics a few days before any dental work.

I find it weird that your teeth can effect your heart! I am going to go brush/floss to be safe....

this is correct.

i used to have a hole in my heart the size of a quarter and would have to take a special medication a week before the dentist each time. this was due to the bacteria caused when cleaning.

for real? jesus that's scary.

those numbers are probably a little padded due to the fact that people who don't bother to brush their teeth tend not to eat responsibly either... plenty of people on slabs at the hospital dead from heart attacks and perfectly healthy teeth...

With that logic, taking out all your teeth will increase life expectancy because less harmful plaque and bacteria plus its harder to eat most unhealthy foods and red meats!

Flavor Flave is onto something?

it actually wasnt that big of a deal when i was younger. just had to deal with it. i just kinda went with the flow. im just glad they didnt have to chop me open for a transplant or anything because that was on the list for a while. they used to do all these tests on me every week but i got MAD free popsicles out of it. i mean like 8 stations of testing and i would be popsicled out.

i remember being in the dentist office onetime and my mom and i remembering at the last minute we forgot medication this time. it would have sucked to be on that 1000 ways to die show (which i hate). death by teeth cleaning LOL.

it is supposed to be healed up so all is good in Meta land.
