How to Reduce Heart and Arteries Inflammation with Dr. Thomas Larkin - MBC#15

Heart attacks don’t happen overnight. Cardiovascular disease is a chronic disease that is present many years before a stroke or cardiac arrest occur. 
 
Recent research has revealed that inflammation in the heart tissues and arteries can be a driving factor in cardiovascular disease progression. There is also evidence to suggest that gum or periodontal disease has direct links to cardiovascular inflammation.

Your gums are a vast bacterial and vascular network that can communicate with the entire body. Bacteria found in the mouth can mimic those that cause an immune reaction against heart tissue. If you have bleeding gums or have been told you have gum disease, then your risk of heart disease could be higher.

To discuss the mouth-heart connection with me today is Dr. Thomas Larkin
