Periodontal Disease and Heart Attacks
"Brush your teeth or you'll have a heart attack!"

This is not an admonishment that I either heard as a child
or ever made to my own children or patients. However it is
becoming increasingly evident that maintaining good dental
hygiene and treating periodontal disease is one of the
easiest and most important things that we can do to prevent
heart disease, stroke and several other illnesses.

Periodontitis is defined as inflammation of the supporting
tissues of the tooth. These tissues include bone, the
periodontal membrane and the gums. Gingivitis (infection
of the gums) is a common cause of periodontitis as is the
dental plaque that forms on the other periodontal tissues.
Periodontitis has been known for centuries to be
responsible for a large proportion of dental problems but
recent research has shown that its deleterious effects
extend far beyond the mouth.

In a recent article I wrote about a condition called
chronic systemic inflammation which is a low grade,
pervasive form of inflammation that damages the endothelial
linings of arteries and has also been implicated in causing
harm to a variety of other tissues and organs.

Periodontitis is a very important cause of this sinister
inflammatory process and is associated with infection and
inflammation of the periodontal tissues and the release of
bacteria, toxins, protein acids, pro-inflammatory chemical
messengers and other harmful compounds into the mouth and
blood stream. Once in the blood stream these agents
stimulate a systemic inflammatory response that in turn
causes problems a long way from the mouth. Some of the most
important targets of periodontitis-induced systemic
inflammation are the blood vessels ? especially the
endothelial linings of the arteries.

These inflammatory agents cause narrowing and rigidity of
the arteries that results in reduced blood supply to the
heart, brain, kidneys and other organs. In addition,
systemic inflammation is thought to contribute to an
inflammatory process in the arterial endothelium itself.
Inflammation in this important part of the blood vessel
aggravates the formation of cholesterol plaques in the
arteries and ultimately causes the rupture of these plaques
? events that result in heart attack or stroke.

The theory of the effects of periodontitis on heart disease
and other illnesses is backed up by several very recent
clinical trials.

One study found that those who had recently suffered a
heart attack had far higher levels of pathogenic bacteria
in their mouths than those in a non-heart attack control
group. In another study arterial blood flow was measured in
those with periodontal disease before and after intensive
treatment for their periodontal disease. Interestingly, the
arterial blood flow in these patients diminished slightly
over the first few days following the treatment but a few
weeks later it increased substantially and was
significantly better than that of the untreated control
group.

Studies have even shown that pregnant woman who have
periodontitis have a higher incidence of preterm, low birth
weight babies than those who have had this condition
treated early on in pregnancy. This particular cause of
preterm low birth weight babies is thought to be due to an
inflammatory process caused by bacteria in the blood stream
that come from infected oral tissue. Simply treating the
periodontitis in these pregnant woman by descaling, root
planing and regular antiseptic mouth rinses was sufficient
to avoid this serious obstetrical problem.

Along with a good diet, weight control, exercise and blood
lipid control, a visit to your dentist to treat any
existing periodontal disease is another simple but
important thing you can do to help prevent heart disease,
stroke and maybe several other diseases.
