Doctors Warn Your Dental Habits Could Be Increasing Your Stroke Risk—What to Know



Heart-healthy living includes getting regular exercise, managing stress, limiting alcohol and red meat, practicing good sleep hygiene, and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels. But one practice that’s equally as important yet often overlooked is dental care. New research suggests that certain oral hygiene habits can boost your cardiovascular health, specifically when it comes to stroke risk.

Research found that oral hygiene can impact your cardiovascular health.

Much research has been conducted on oral hygiene and cardiovascular health.

Colgate explains it well: "As the Cleveland Clinic reports, research has shown that, if the oral bacteria responsible for gum disease find a way into the bloodstream, they may cause C-reactive protein levels to rise. This elevation can indicate inflammation in the blood vessels and, ultimately, signal an increase in that person's risk of stroke and heart disease."

A new preliminary study presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference indicates that adults can lower their risk of stroke with good oral hygiene. As for which habit (flossing, brushing, or visiting the dentist) has a more significant impact on cardiovascular health, the study’s author analyzed the oral hygiene behaviors of more than 6,000 adults.

"A recent global health report revealed that oral diseases—such as untreated tooth decay and gum disease—affected 3.5 billion people in 2022, making them the most widespread health conditions," said study lead author Souvik Sen, MD, in a press release. "We aimed to determine which oral hygiene behavior—dental flossing, brushing or regular dentist visits—has the greatest impact on stroke prevention."

Daily flossing was linked to lower risks of stroke and irregular heartbeat.

Not flossing can contribute to built-up bacteria and inflammation in and around the gums, increasing your stroke risk, per the study’s findings.

An at-home oral hygiene assessment found that 4,092 of the participants had no stroke prevalence, and 4,050 had no history of AFib (an irregular heartbeat). The common denominator? They all regularly flossed.

Participants were monitored over the course of 25 years, during which time flossing was linked with a 22 percent lower risk of ischemic stroke (when blood flow is cut off to the brain), 44 percent lower risk of cardioembolic stroke (when a blood clot forms in the heart), and 12 percent lower risk of AFib.

"Oral health behaviors are linked to inflammation and artery hardening. Flossing may reduce stroke risk by lowering oral infections and inflammation and encouraging other healthy habits," explained Sen. "Many people have expressed that dental care is costly. Flossing is a healthy habit that is easy to adopt, affordable and accessible everywhere."

However, a 2016 CDC survey found that over one-third of Americans never floss.

"When you're brushing, you're only getting certain surfaces of the tooth," Dee Dee Meevasin, DMD, owner of Dee for Dentist, previously shared with Best Life. "Flossing gets into those crevices where a brush cannot reach—under the gums and between the teeth—to mechanically remove bacteria."

The takeaway:

Routine flossing not only boosts dental health (preventing cavities and gum disease), but your cardiovascular health, too.

Looking towards the future, American Heart Association EPI and Stroke Council member Daniel T. Lackland, DrPH, said he would like to see researchers dive into the correlation between specific dental health practices and other risk factors, including diet, physical activity, nicotine consumption, sleep, blood pressure, body mass, and more. Lackland was not involved in the study.

‘He’s absolutely FUMING’ say Love Island fans as they spot secret feud in the villa – did you see it?

LOVE Island fans are convinced there is a secret feud between Omar Nyame Curtis Pritchard after last night’s heart rate challenge.

Omar, 26, has hit it off with Catherine Agbaje in the All Stars villa and received a special dance from her during the racy task.

Curtis Heart Rate challenge was the most hotly-anticipated, with the All Stars and viewers being sent into a frenzy.

Recreating his most iconic Love Island moment, Curtis channelled his inner King Julien from Madagascar after his 2019 Heart Rate challenge performance.

Curtis raised all of the girls heart rates the most apart from two.

But it was Omar’s reaction when it was revealed that Catherine’s heart rate had been raised the most by Curtis.

Some fans were quick to point out Omar’s fuming expression and were quick to speculate there was more to it.

One said: “No wonder Curtis was the one that raised her heart rate the most, babe was scared for her life. Meanwhile Omar was secretly fuming.”

A second commented: “Omar’s FACE when it was announced that Catherine’s heart rate was raised by Curtis? Note that Catherine also SLAPPED Curtis’s hands onto her bum.”

A third added: “Omar looked pretty p***** off that Catherine’s heart rate was raised the most by Curtis. Maybe they don’t get on.”

The Love Island heart rate challenge is a firm favourite among fans and sees the Islanders put on a sexy show to get their co-stars hot under the collar.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu transformed into a cheeky devil and recreated her iconic crawl across the terrace from series eight in 2022.

She made her way towards bombshell Sammy Root – who is currently coupled up with Elma Pazar – and moved in for a snog after giving him a lap dance.

It no doubt felt like deja-vu for Elma, after Ekin-Su previously took Ronnie Vint on a date while they were coupled up.

Ekin-Su then threw Curtis on the floor and the pair proceeded to get raunchy in front of the other Islanders.

‘Ralph made it to Netflix’ – Peter O’Mahony’s wife Jessica reveals son’s adorable reaction to being in Six Nations doc

PETER O’MAHONY’S wife Jessica joked “Ralph has made it to Netflix” after posting a video of her son reacting to his cameo in the Six Nations documentary.

The second season of the doc focused on the 2024 Championship, which Ireland won for back-to-back titles.

Peter O’Mahony captained Ireland to that honour, having succeeded Johnny Sexton as skipper following his retirement after the Rugby World Cup.

The Netflix doc showed a number of clips of Ireland players and fans celebrating, including O’Mahony and his young son Ralph.

Jessica shared a precious video of Ralph watching his celebrations with his dad, commenting: “Ralph made it to Netflix”.

Ireland began the defence of their Six Nations title in style with a 27-22 win over England at the Aviva Stadium.

O’Mahony started the game on the bench, with Caelan Doris filling in as captain.

Simon Easterby – who is filling in as interim head coach during Andy Farrell‘s secondment with the Lions – will be hoping to build on that result when they face Scotland.

They are in danger of being without Mack Hansen and Finlay Bealham, both of whom picked up injuries against Steve Borthwick‘s men.

Yet even before learning of those fitness doubts, Easterby warned that Ireland will have to improve on their performance against their neighbours.

He said: “It was tough and physical and what you expect from an Ireland-England game.

“The first half, it was the first round of the Six Nations…it’s always going to be a bit of an arm wrestle so we had to find a way. 

“I thought we played well in the first half, we didn’t quite get our accuracy right which is why they were leading.

“But we cleaned it up in the second half. The guys coming off the bench benefited from the work done by the guys who started, it was a tough attritional game.

“We know we need to be better next weekend. It sets us up for next week but it will be incredibly tough.”

It was a sentiment echoed by Jamison Gibson-Park, who was man of the match at the weekend and who believes Scotland are capable of causing an upset.

The Tartan Army have not beaten Ireland since 2017 when they inflicted defeat on the side then-coached by Joe Schmidt.

The scrum-half said: “That’s the case for a lot of teams now. We’ve kind of been near enough to the top of the rankings for a while.

“I know myself that if I’m coming up against a quality side you want to put your best performance out there. Next week will be no different.”

Scotland view themselves as potential champions and the Leinster star agreed: “One hundred per cent. They’re a classy side.

“They’re playing good footie and they’re stacked full of really good individuals, so it will be a tough challenge. I know it’s been a long time since they won but there’s no reason they can’t.

“But what a place to go and what an opportunity for us to go there and have a crack at them.”
