Everyone knows that the main function of teeth is to eat. I remember a well-known advertisement in the past few years, "Good teeth, good appetite, good taste, good body." But do you know that teeth are also closely related to the heart? In recent years, scientists have paid more and more attention to the relationship between dental disease and heart disease. The most common oral diseases are caries and periodontal diseases, which can cause heart problems if not treated in time.
First of all, caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is actually a bacterial infectious disease. Without timely filling treatment, caries will evolve into pulpitis and periapical periodontitis, and even more serious facial space infection. Bacteria in teeth may enter the blood, circulate through the blood to the heart and cause bacterial endocarditis, which is a very serious disease. If not treated in time, it will lead to heart failure and endanger life. A bad tooth can cause such serious consequences. Why don't you cure your bad tooth earlier?
