You might think that heart disease is only related to diet, stress, and exercise, but deep dental infections, especially chronic inflammation after root canal treatment, can be a hidden culprit in heart disease. According to research by cardiologist Dr. Thomas Levy , pathogen DNA from dental infections was found in the blood clots of 78% of myocardial infarction patients , shocking the medical community.

Chronic periapical periodontitis: painless but dangerous

  • -After root canal treatment, bacteria may remain inside the tooth.
  • - The infection may be located deep in the tooth root and may not cause obvious symptoms.
  • Pathogens can enter the lymphatic system through chewing and spread throughout the body.
  • - May trigger chronic inflammation, immune system imbalance, and even cardiovascular disease.

The link between dental infections and heart disease:

  • Infection triggers oxidative stress, producing a large number of free radicals.
  • - The body's inability to effectively neutralize this leads to chronic inflammation.
  • - Bacterial toxins stimulate an immune response, which may lead to thrombosis.
  • - A blood clot can block a coronary artery, leading to a myocardial infarction or stroke.

How can I check if my teeth are infected?

  • Traditional X- rays may not be able to detect deep-seated infections .
  • - It is recommended to use 3D cone-beam CT imaging to examine the tooth roots.
  • - A blood test for C- reactive protein ( CRP ) can reveal whether the body has chronic inflammation.

Symptoms of infection may include:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Pain in the upper or lower jaw
  • - Tooth sensitivity
  • - Unexplained inflammation of the neck and back

Prevention and improvement methods:

  • Regular dental checkups: especially for those who have had root canal treatment.
  • - Supplement with antioxidants: such as liposomal vitamin C.
  • - Can penetrate deep into cells to reduce oxidative stress
  • - It is recommended to take 500 mg in divided doses daily.
  • - Less likely to cause diarrhea, suitable for long-term use
  • - Strengthen your immune system: Maintain good sleep, eat a balanced diet, and avoid excessive exercise.
  • - To prevent dental infections from worsening: If there is any suspicion, it should be addressed as soon as possible, and extraction of the problematic tooth should even be considered.

Hong Kong people should know how to choose: teeth not only affect your smile, but may also affect your heart!

If you experience chronic fatigue, recurring inflammation, or high cardiovascular risk, don't neglect your dental health. Chronic infections deep in the tooth roots can be the root of your health problems. Starting today, get regular dental checkups, supplement with antioxidants, and monitor your immunity to add an extra layer of protection to your heart health!
