There is a link between gum disease and heart disease. Bacteria in the mouth can narrow blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attacks. Some medicines can also increase the risk of having gum disease.
Everyone’s needs are different so please see your doctor/dietician for advice.
Speak to both your health care provider and dental practitioner for information about the effects of your medicines.
