New Study Links Oral Health to Heart Disease – KYT Dental Services Weighs In

Recent research has reinforced the significant connection between periodontal disease and cardiovascular health. A comprehensive meta-analysis involving over 4 million participants revealed that individuals with periodontal disease face a 20% higher risk of coronary heart disease and a 14% increased risk of heart attack. The underlying mechanism is believed to involve chronic systemic inflammation, where inflammation from periodontal disease elevates systemic inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein and interleukins, contributing to atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction. Dr. Isaac Sun of KYT Dental Services emphasizes the clinical implications, stating that maintaining optimal oral health is crucial not only for preventing dental issues but also for reducing systemic health risks. KYT Dental Services is dedicated to integrating comprehensive periodontal care with patient education to enhance both oral and overall health outcomes.
