Tartar cleaning habits to the dentist not only have an impact on dental health, but also will reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
According to the cardiologists, tartar cleaning action will reduce the growth of bacteria that cause inflammation and lead to heart disease or stroke.
"One of the tips to prevent heart disease and stroke is the routine cleaning of tartar," said Dr.Emily (Zu-Yin) Chen, a cardiologist from the Veterans General Hospital, Taipei.
Zu-Yin conduct research in Taiwan with a following of 100,000 people who have no history of heart disease or stroke ancestry for 7 years. The result is known, those trips to the doctor to clean tartar twice a year have a 24 percent lower risk for heart attack and 13 percent lower stroke, compared with people who never clean the tartar.
However, in this study is not taken into account the risk factors of heart disease and stroke such as body weight, smoking, and race.
While the study conducted in Sweden found that different types of gum disease can be used to predict the risk of heart disease and stroke.
The researchers found the least amount of gear teeth and high levels of infection will increase the risk of heart disease. In addition more and more often experience bleeding gums caused by gum disease will lead to a higher risk of stroke.
