But did you also know taking care of your smile is important for your heart health, too?<\/p>\n<p>Without regular brushing or dental visits, bacteria and plaque can harden into tartar, which works with bacteria to create infected pockets between your teeth and gums. These pockets allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream and travel to other parts of your body, including your heart, where the cycle only continues.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->As bacteria from your mouth irritate your arterial wall, your body produces more plaque, making it harder for blood to pass through. Given enough time, this plaque build can even cause a heart attack, or possibly even a stroke.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gum Disease Therapy from Dr. Canzoneri<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But you don\u2019t have to live with gum disease.
