In addition to the classical risk factors (smoking, Obesity, cholesterol level, high blood pressure, less activity, diabetes mellitus, stress), results of research of late indicate that inflammation reaction (inflamasi) from chronic infection of the disease may also be a risk factor. However, only chronic disease that dental-related heart disease.

The distribution mechanism
The distribution of dental disease to other organs can be explained through the theory fokal infection.
Fokal infection is a chronic infection in a place and trigger the disease in other places. Toxic, remains of the dirt, and microbes penginfeksi can spread to other places in the body such as kidney, heart, eyes, skin. Impact of dental disease in the heart may be a coronary heart disease, muscle inflammation, and heart valve (endokarditis).
Terikut bacteria that blood flow can produce the enzyme terbentuknya speed increase blood clot so that blood vessel walls, heart (aterosklerosis).

Alternatively, a reaction to inflammation caused by the disease to increase the formation of dental plaque that stimulate blood vessel wall penebalan. Research shows, people with dental disease have a risk two times more exposed to high coronary heart disease.


Endokarditis
Bacteria were found in dental plaque is one of the factors cause endokarditis.
Bacteria in the tooth and gum holes that can be broken into the blood circulation through the gum bleeding. The bacteria is easily attack the heart valves and heart muscle that has been weakened. Symptoms include fever, noisy heart, bleeding under the skin, even embolisasi (stoppage) vena small organs in the body of another.
Although rare, this disease can result in fatal and sometimes require emergency heart valve surgery. It also is recommended as profilaksi of antibiotics in people who suffered heart valve prolaps, rheumatism and heart disease congenital heart rudiment, get action before dental treatment.
Because always better to prevent than treat, need a good dental care and regular dental checks. How terbentuknya tartar prevention is quite simple, with diligent and thorough dental cleaning is good and true. Scrub on the tongue for 30 seconds is also evidenced to reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth.
The brochure is a good brush teeth properly and can be obtained easily at any place where the practice of dentistry. Use Floss dental (dental floss) is also very important to clean areas that are difficult to reach by brush teeth, especially the antargigi and also on the teeth-teeth crowd.
