BACTERIA IN THE TREATMENT OF TEETH ARE THE CAUSE OF HEART ATTACK
Intraoral diseases begin when the bacterial balance of the oral cavity changes. Increased bacteria due to gum problems can travel from the bloodstream to the heart and cause a heart attack.
The inside of the mouth is one of the most polluted areas of the body. It is said that the inside of the mouth contains much more bacteria than people on the planet we are on. But I have a hard time estimating how convincing this explanation will be to you. As a dentist who has completed his doctorate in microbiology in the oral cavity, I would say that the mouth hosts an abundance of bacteria.
Not all bacteria in the mouth are harmful, but useful ones also play an important role in maintaining intraoral balance. Intraoral diseases begin when the bacterial balance of the oral cavity, which is home to different types of bacteria, changes. A change in the proportions is associated with general health problems and can cause more serious problems. As some bacteria in the oral cavity increase due to gum problems, bacteria in the bloodstream can go to the heart and cause a heart attack.

IT CAN CAUSE DISEASES
The subject of my doctorate in microbiology was ‘Microbiological aspects of improving the effectiveness of diagnostic, treatment and prevention measures of inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity’. In our laboratory research under this title; when an implant is made into the mouth, orthodontic wire is inserted in Turkey clinic, gum problems increase, teeth are not brushed for three days; different types of bacteria that normally get along well can cause diseases by changing their rates, some of them decrease and some increase.

800 THOUSAND PATIENTS WERE EXAMINED
A heart attack should be suspected if the toothache that lasts for a long time and does not go away persistently is accompanied by a headache, jaw pain, or sweating. A study conducted in America has revealed that toothache, no matter how strange it may sound, can be an indicator of a heart attack. Many of you have felt pain in your teeth while experiencing something physically difficult and stressful, and after a little rest, you immediately experienced relief. It may seem very scary to you, but due to the narrowing of the heart that develops as a result of some minor reasons, there may be signs of a heart attack caused by insufficient pumping of oxygenated blood to the heart muscle, which can ignite pain that spreads to the left side of muscle jaw.
Patients with a history of heart disease should be careful if they have a sudden toothache (especially in individuals with good oral health), suspecting that they may have a heart attack. Hold on tight, because recent studies have shown a direct relationship between caries on your teeth and the health of your gums and the risk of having a heart attack or even, if we go even further, a stroke.
However, now all dentists and doctors dealing with heart diseases have begun to insist on the importance of this issue to their patients. In addition, until now have not been published describing the relationship between periodontal disease and heart attack, bypass surgery, the risk of damaged oral hygiene in patients with impaired oral hygiene and even more interesting that reported an increase in both the carotid artery increases the risk of stroke by causing it to thicken the layer of media and our results of a study that states that no longer our suspicions in this area is completely eliminated.

ANTIBIOTICS SHOULD BE USED FIRST
Oral health is becoming very important in children with congenital heart disease and adults with heart valve disease. The bacteria formed in carious teeth enter the blood during treatments such as filling and shooting these teeth, and then settle in the problem area of the heart, which is already an area prone to infection, and multiply here, leading to infection of the tissue covering the inner surface of the heart, which we call ‘Infective Endocarditis’. Infective endocarditis is an infection with a high risk of vital activity. Another risky group in terms of infective endocarditis is patients who have had a prosthesis inserted into their heart with an operation such as an artificial heart valve, heart patch, pacemaker. Bacteria formed in the teeth multiply on the prosthesis placed in the heart, leading to the formation of an extremely deadly table that we call ‘Prosthetic endocarditis’.
It is vital that such patients are in very good communication with dentists and undergo appropriate antibiotic treatment before any attempts to be made to the teeth to prevent such unwanted problems. High blood pressure can lead to negative situations during dental treatment. If you have high blood pressure and are taking medication, be sure to tell your dentist before having an implant. Uncontrolled or drug-controlled high blood pressure is an important criterion in the planning of any implant treatment. Implants are placed in the bone; blood pressure does not have any effect on bone formation.
.
Turkey Medicals – medication should be used to control blood pressure, pain medications should be given to relieve pain and resulting anxiety; but both of these can cause a big problem for patients with high blood pressure who are undergoing implant treatment.
.
IMPLANT CARE IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
There are important points in the recovery period after implant treatment. Uncontrolled high blood pressure limits the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the vessels and capillaries, which reduces the ability of cells to regenerate and recover. Prolonged infection with open wounds in the mouth leads to swelling and increases the risk of harmful bacteria entering the bloodstream.
.
GUMS MAY SWELL
Drug-treated blood pressure has little effect on recovery after implant placement, but it still needs to be discussed with the dentist and the patient. Most implant procedures have a high degree of rapid recovery time, and patients can resume normal activities without pain management within a few days. The bigger concern that follows the implant process is gum health and oral hygiene. Calcium channel blockers often cause the gums to swell slightly and Jul, which makes it more difficult to keep them clean. Although implants and implant-supported prostheses are immune to cavity and gum disease, gum irritation can be harmful and should be avoided to maintain the integrity of dental implant treatment.
If you have high blood pressure or if you are keeping your blood pressure under control with medications, you should tell your dentist. Your specialist dentist in Antalya Turkey will know how to keep you safe and comfortable during the procedure and will inform you about the care of your implants after giving you back your smile.
