Zahnfleischerkrankungen sind mit einem erhöhten Risiko für kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse verbunden, darunter Herzinfarkt, Schlaganfall, Vorhofflimmern, Herzinsuffizienz und kardiometabolische Gesundheitsstörungen. Eine wirksame Vorbeugung und Behandlung von Zahnfleischerkrankungen könnte möglicherweise die Belastung durch Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen verringern.

I’ve linked to the press release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
There is increasing evidence that **gum disease is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and cardiometabolic health conditions. Effective prevention and treatment of gum disease, also called periodontal disease, could potentially decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease**, according to a new scientific statement published today in the American Heart Association’s flagship journal Circulation.
The new American Heart Association scientific statement, “Periodontal Disease and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease,” features new data supporting an association between periodontal disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and updates the Association’s 2012 scientific statement. ACSVD, the leading cause of death globally, is caused by buildup of arterial plaque (fatty deposits in the arteries) and refers to conditions that include coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease and aortic aneurysms.
I had trouble with gum disease for a long time. When I once ran out of tooth paste I lazily just used the brush and water for a while and it went away completely. You might be sensitive / allergic to one ingredient in your tooth paste and dont even know it. It was sodium-lauryl-sulfate for me. When I use tooth paste without it I am fine
Effective prevention of global piracy could potentially decrease the burden of climate change.
I started 4x a year hygienist visits after my cardiac event. Not sure if a proportionate response but the dentist seems to think it’s a good idea
Wasn’t this already established like a decade or two ago? I can’t point to any specific article, but I’m sure that this concept was already shown to be true in that timeframe.
Genuine question: does poor gum health cause heart disease, or is it the other way around, with poor heart health resulting in gum disease?
If only treatment didn’t start at 4K at the time of treatment after “insurance”.
„Although periodontal disease and ASCVD share common risk factors,“ – here they’re likely referring to smoking/diabetes both being contributing factors in ASCVD as well as in gum disease.
Great. I have periodontal disease (permanent gum disease) due to not looking after myself and not being able to afford dental visits. This news really worries me.
I now get three scalings a year and exercise, eat healthy. Hopefully that helps dial the risk down for me. Just another case for dental care to be included in Medicare for free.
Make sure you brush your teeth and take care of your dental health. I’m a 46 year old man and I cried in the dentist chair when I got diagnosed. Biggest regret of my life.
