The mouth is not clean! The risk of pericarditis

The mouth is not clean! The risk of pericarditis

      Infections caused by gums and teeth, especially in patients with chronic diseases, can lead to increased severity of other systemic conditions. Additionally, it can hinder the expected outcomes of treatments and, in some cases, even result in fatal consequences. Therefore, we have some tips for taking care of your oral health:

• Brush your teeth properly and regularly, at least twice a day (in the morning and before bedtime).
• Use dental floss to clean between teeth after brushing each time.
• Self-check your oral health regularly.
• Schedule regular dental check-ups, at least every 6 months.

      Detecting infections that cause dental caries, such as Streptococcus mutans, which is the only type of bacteria found in inflamed heart tissues, highlights the importance of maintaining dental health to prevent infections from entering the bloodstream and causing endocarditis.
