Getting Your Teeth Cleaned May Help Your Heart
Study Shows Professional Teeth Cleaning Is Linked to Lower Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke
Nov. 16, 2011 (Orlando, Fla.) -- Getting your teeth cleaned may give you more than a sparkling white smile -- it may give you something to smile about, like your health.
In a large study, people who had their teeth professionally scaled at least once every two years were 24% less likely to have a heart attack, compared with those who skipped the hygienist. Scaling cleans between the gums and the teeth.
And their risk of stroke dropped by 13%, says study researcher Zu-Yin Chen, MD, a cardiology fellow at the Veterans General Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan.
The staff at Eagle Summit Dental Group makes dental visits as relaxing, and comfortable as possible, so that patients can celebrate a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums and enjoy the smile they have dreamed of.
Our staff of highly trained dentists and specialists utilizes only the latest dental technology and individualized care to create and
maintain beautiful smiles.
