# Unexpected Method of Preventing Heart Attack and Stroke Revealed

Regular and thorough tooth brushing can play an important role in preventing heart attacks and strokes. This statement was made by Dr. Daniel López Rosetti, commenting on the impact of oral hygiene on the cardiovascular system.

As reported by BAKU.WS citing Infobae, the specialist emphasized that inadequate oral care can lead to serious complications that extend far beyond dental problems.

According to the Argentine doctor, poor hygiene contributes to the development of infections in the oral cavity. The bacteria that form and the toxins they release can enter the bloodstream and reach vital organs, including the heart. In such cases, the expert noted, the risk of developing endocarditis increases - an inflammation of the inner lining of the heart, which leads to disruption of its normal function.

Furthermore, as Rosetti explained, chronic inflammation in the body is considered by international specialists as one of the factors increasing the likelihood of myocardial infarction and stroke. Thus, simple daily hygiene procedures can become part of comprehensive cardiovascular disease prevention.
