Oral prophylaxis provides benefits such as preventing tooth decay and gum disease, removing plaque and tartar, and improving breath. It also brightens teeth by removing stains, allows for the early detection of dental problems, and contributes to better overall health. (12/6/25)

Although root canal treatment has long been recognized for its ability to relieve dental pain and preserve natural teeth, new evidence suggests its benefits may extend far beyond the mouth. A recent study indicates that this routine dental procedure could also help reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Published in the Journal of Translational Medicine, the study evaluated whether treating apical periodontitis (AP)—a bacterial infection of the dental pulp that can drive widespread inflammation—could positively influence blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and other systemic inflammatory markers.

Researchers tracked 65 adults for two years after receiving root canal therapy for AP. More than half demonstrated meaningful health improvements, including better glucose control, improved lipid profiles, and lower inflammatory markers.

These findings highlight a promising connection: resolving chronic dental infections may support cardiovascular and metabolic health, underscoring the importance of timely root canal treatment for whole-body well-being.

Wisdom teeth can cause side effects like pain, swelling in the gums and jaw, bad breath, and difficulty opening your mouth. When they are impacted or infected, they can also damage neighboring teeth, cause sinus pain, or lead to infections. Some rare but serious complications include the development of cysts or tumors in the jaw.

New evidence is strengthening the link between periodontitis and atrial fibrillation. Researchers report that chronic gum inflammation may increase the likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation and worsen outcomes in patients already diagnosed.

Persistent periodontal infection appears to drive systemic inflammation, immune activation, and atrial fibrosis. These biological changes may create the conditions for abnormal electrical activity within the heart.

The review highlights that periodontal treatment, including professional scaling and improved oral hygiene, significantly reduces inflammatory markers associated with atrial fibrillation risk.

Experts propose that oral health should be incorporated into integrated cardiac care, as managing gum disease may become a key strategy in preventing and controlling atrial fibrillation.

Poor dental health can create consequences far beyond the mouth. Recent research in Neurology Open Access reports a strong link between gum disease and shrinkage in brain regions responsible for memory. Chronic inflammation and bacteria from oral infections can enter the bloodstream and gradually injure sensitive neural tissues.

This slow deterioration may heighten the risk of cognitive decline and disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Keeping gums healthy isn’t only about protecting the smile — it also supports the brain’s long-term structure and memory function.
