Recently I met two people with the same heart condition caused by getting an infection via their teeth. One needed open heart surgery and the other antibiotics — both nearly died. Is this common and, if so, how does it occur? Trevor Cooke, by email
The condition you’ve described is infective endocarditis and while it’s not particularly common — it affects about ten in every 100,000 people a year — it’s nonetheless worth discussing because it can potentially affect a wide range of people. It occurs when bacteria travelling in the bloodstream attach to the endocardium, the lining of the heart. The infection usually involves one or more of the heart valves, too.

We're not all nuts but we do like a sense of humour 😄

- If you get your tooth knocked out, put it in milk and hold it in your mouth—this will help your tooth to survive longer. Make sure you see a dentist right away. - Many diseases are linked to your oral health, including heart disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes. - Your mouth produces over 25,000 quarts of saliva in a lifetime—that’s enough to fill two swimming pools. Saliva has many uses, including assisting you with your digestion and protects your teeth from bacteria in your mouth.

Diabetes Patients Should Pay Close Attention to Oral Health
If you have diabetes, keeping your blood glucose level within the recommended range for you and having regular dental check-ups are key to keeping your mouth healthy 😄

Halitosis/Bad Breath
If you're concerned and would like to learn about what's causing your bad breath, consider scheduling an appointment with Peter James. Given your full medical and dental history along with an oral examination, he should be able to identify the culprit 😊

It's never too early to start good routines! :)

A happy, caring, family atmosphere at Smiles :)
