Routine Dental Check Reduce Risk of Heart Attack

Visits to the dentist at least twice a year can help to reduce the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. This is a study of a group of researchers from the Veterans General Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan.
The results of these studies, has recently been presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association (AHA) in Orlando, Florida.

Brushing your teeth regularly and regularly can help remove the sticky layer of biofilm and easily attached to the tooth. Biofilm layer contains bacteria and is known as plaque. Plaque that has hardened due to calcified called tartar (calculus).
Calculus can only be eliminated with tartar cleaning (scaling) is performed by health professionals. By using a process called scaling, the dentist can remove the calculus above and below the gum line.
Calculus above the gum line called supragingival calculus. While calculus is located below the gingival line referred to as subgingival calculus.
Previous studies have shown that there is a connection between chronic inflammation of gum disease, and the development of heart disease. However, these studies are observational only.In the new study, researchers looked at more than 100,000 people who have no history of heart problems or stroke during an average of 7 years.
Among the study participants are more than 51,000 adults who had received at least one time cleaning tartar by health professionals. And the rest is the group that received no cleaning tartar by health professionals. 
The study showed among participants who have made tartar cleaning twice a year for 2 years, the risk for heart attacks declined by 24 percent, and reduced stroke risk by 13 percent.
This is when compared with the group that did not do the clean up of tartar by health professionals at all.
