Medical Forum / General / General / February 2005Tooth bacteria cause heart disease
Brushing with an electric brush and occasional antibiotics will help prevent heart disease , maybe that is why alcohol is protective , kills the bugs excerpt - People who test positive for bacteria that cause periodontal disease also have increased thickness of the carotid artery, which suggests there is a direct relationship between periodontal infection and atherosclerosis, investigators report. However, "there is no guarantee that treating periodontal disease would reverse it, because the damage might be preventable but not reversible," Dr. Moise Desvarieux told Reuters Health. While there have been numerous studies linking periodontal health and the risk of vascular disease, this is the first to directly measure oral bacteria and thickness of the arteries, Dr. Desvarieux explained > Brushing with an electric brush and occasional antibiotics > will help prevent heart disease , maybe that is why alcohol is > protective , kills the bugs It kills the liver dummy and causes harm and danger in roads and is cause of several social issues like wife beating.

I think "Habshi" might be referring to the alcohol that is in most mouth washes, although many brands have reduced the amount lately. Scope at one it was about 70 proof, now it is about 40 proof. Listerine is about 50 proof. That is one of the main reasons you are not suppose to swallow your mouthwash.  Signature"This is just my opinion, I maybe wrong" D. Miller "Defend free speech!

"If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders." (Hal Abelson, MIT) They're referring to the bacteria accessing the body via a cut in the gums etc, and then finding their way to the heart where they can lodge in the valves. > >> Brushing with an electric brush and occasional antibiotics > >> will help prevent heart disease , maybe that is why alcohol is [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > proof.

Specifically, no. I haven't read the papers, but most of the newer ones associating periodontal disease with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease focus on C-reactive protein, and the fact that this protein is elevated in periodontal disease and also seems to be associated with atherosclerosis. You are referring to risk of endocarditis resulting from transient bacteremias associated with both periodontal disease and dental manipulation in any mouth where bleeding potentially could cause a bacteremia. The risk is for persons with pre-existing valvular heart disease or other heart defects.
