WHAT IS ENDOCARDITIS AND HOW IT AFFECT HEART HEALTH?
In addition to having a bad effect on oral health, carious teeth can also affect heart health. Dental health is important for everyone in general, but it is becoming much more important, especially in children with congenital heart disease and adults with heart valve disease.
Turkey Medicals JCI hospital member and 22 years experience best dentist in Antalya told about several dangerous effects of carious teeth on the dental patient and the relations to heart health.
Bacteremia, which will occur during the intervention on carious teeth, can cause infection of the layer covering the inner surface of the heart and vessels, which we call endocarditis. Endocarditis is an extremely serious clinical picture that requires long-term inpatient antibiotic therapy and carries a risk of death.
If dental health is not taken care of, the infection factors that enter the bloodstream during the filling or extraction of carious teeth, sometimes even just bleeding during brushing, can reach the problem area of the heart and multiply here and cause a serious heart infection.
In order to protect against this dangerous clinical picture called endocarditis, people who are considered risky and have heart disease are given infection-protective antibiotics before dental treatments.
But of course, the most ideal is that oral and dental care is done very well and tooth decay and gum disease are prevented. Therefore, the risk of endocarditis (heart surgery, whether she had or not) with children with congenital heart disease and heart valve disease (especially attached to an artificial heart valve) for adults, dental care, discusses the importance of in terms of heart health.
