Doctor Rosetti: thorough tooth brushing reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Doctor Daniel Lopez Rosetti stated that to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, it is essential to brush teeth thoroughly. He revealed this unexpected method of preventing heart and vascular diseases in an interview with Infobae.
Rosetti noted that poor hygiene leads to various infections in the oral cavity. Bacteria and the toxins they produce can enter the bloodstream and reach vital organs, including the heart, he warned.
According to the doctor, one of the complications in such cases would be endocarditis — inflammation of the inner lining of the heart. As a result, the function of this organ will significantly deteriorate. Additionally, chronic inflammation increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes, Rosetti added.
Previously, surgeon Sergey Tarabarin explained which habits increase the risk of thrombosis. According to him, due to tobacco smoke, the blood becomes thicker.
