BACTERIA AND YOUR HEART HEALTH
![Page 8: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/568128d1550346895d8b7462/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Studies suggest that bacteria from the mouth can move into the bloodstream and cause changes in C-reactive protein, a marker associated with inflammation of the blood vessels.
![Page 9: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/568128d1550346895d8b7462/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
This inflammation can increase the risk for heart disease and stroke.

Evidence indicates that this bacterium is linked to endocarditis, an infection of the lining of the heart muscle, and other health problems.
![Page 11: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/568128d1550346895d8b7462/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rigorous dental hygiene can help to reduce the amount of bacteria that enters the bloodstream to prevent these health issues.

GUM DISEASE AND YOUR HEART
![Page 13: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/568128d1550346895d8b7462/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The neglect of dental hygiene often leads to periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease.
![Page 14: Healthy Teeth Equals Healthy Heart](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/568128d1550346895d8b7462/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Taking care of your teeth daily can help to reduce the risk of gum disease and associated health problems.
