Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States.

Despite its prevalence, we often overlook the warning signs, assuming they're limited to factors like diet, exercise, and genetics. However, there's a lesser-known indicator that deserves your attention: the condition of your mouth.

Consider this scenario: You're at the dentist, undergoing a routine teeth cleaning. As the hygienist scrapes away plaque and tartar, you might think it's merely a cosmetic procedure. But what if I told you it holds deeper implications for your health, particularly your heart?

What happens in your mouth, does not stay in your mouth (it’s not Vegas after all!) The bacteria in your mouth actually affects your gut microbiome and can lead to many systemic diseases.^[1]

This bacteria can invade your body and cause internal infection and inflammation in your

organs. It’s true. Any kind of bleeding gums and rotting teeth can give this bacteria a way into your bloodstream and your body, making its way down to your organs. 

THIS, my friend, is a BIG problem. This is called sepsis, which is the presence of harmful bacteria and toxins in your tissue, organs and other body parts. It typically starts through infection of a wound.
