Mindsip insights from this episode:
Prioritize dental health to lower heart disease risk
The connection between periodontal disease and heart disease is increasingly viewed as causal, as studies show dental treatments can reduce systemic inflammatory markers linked to cardiovascular risk.
Chew xylitol gum to actively prevent cavities
Sugar-free gum containing Xylitol is considered 'anti-cariogenic,' meaning it actively helps prevent dental disease beyond just the benefit of increased salivation.
Maintain pristine dental habits to overcome genetic predisposition
Despite a potential genetic predisposition to poor dental health, maintaining pristine habits like brushing and flossing can largely overcome these genetic factors.
Limit sugary sips to protect dental health
From a dental standpoint, constantly sipping a sugary or acidic drink all day is more harmful than eating a piece of cake at one time and then brushing your teeth.
Utilize dental visits to screen for heart health risks
Regular dental visits are associated with lower stroke risk, partly because dentists may screen for and identify systemic health issues like hypertension before a primary physician does.
Improve oral health to lower blood pressure and inflammation
A meta-analysis of randomized control trials indicates that dental interventions to improve oral health can lead to surprising reductions in both inflammation and blood pressure.
Link oral bacteria to cardiovascular disease risk
Specific bacteria originating from plaque in the mouth have been discovered within the plaque buildup in arteries, directly implicating them in cardiovascular disease.
