Here is a look at some heart related issues and how they
affect your dental routine.
Dental care if someone has undergone a
heart attack
Speak with your cardiologist about getting any oral
treatments. Make sure your dentist knows that you are taking any
blood-thinners. Such medicines may lead to excessive bleeding at the time of
oral surgery treatments. Speak to your dentist in Brampton if
nitroglycerin and oxygen are available if any medical emergency arises during
an appointment.
Hypertension
A lot of high blood pressure drugs may lead to a dry
mouth or play with your taste buds. This is specifically with calcium channel
blockers, that can swell up the gum tissues, leading to chewing problems. In
case you do have any gum overgrowth, the dental expert will give you thorough
instructions related to oral hygiene and may request you to make frequent
visits for dental cleanings. In certain cases, gum surgery for getting rid of
excess gum tissue may be required.
Stroke
For someone who has suffered a stroke, ask your
dental expert to take anticoagulants. Such medications may lead to excessive
bleeding at the time of an oral surgery.
In case the stroke has reduced your capability to
generate good quantity of saliva, the dental expert may suggest you use
artificial saliva. In case the stroke has distressed your tongue, face, or
dominant arm and hand, your dentist will also advice the use of fluoride gels,
altered flossing or brushing techniques, and the like.
Some research under general dentistry suggests that
heart disease, stroke, clogged arteries may be linked to oral bacteria,
possibly due to inflammation from periodontitis — a serious gum disease. Oral
bacteria can also cause blood clots and harm blood vessels by releasing toxins
which resemble proteins found in the bloodstreams or artery walls. The response
of the immune system to these toxins can make our blood clot easily and harm
vessel walls. It is also possible that swelling in the mouth instigates
inflammation all through the body, leading to a number of health issues.
