If you have gum disease, what can you do to prevent heart disease

If you have gum disease, what can you do to prevent heart disease?
i have gum disease and i been reading off the internet that gum disease might be one of the things causing heart disease from fatty plaque or something like that. I brush everyday and floss, tryin to fight gum disease and use an electric toothbursh, hydrogen peroxide, to fite it, i can live with gum disease but i certainly dont want heart disease

Hi! Heart disease is caused by the over-growth of bacteria. And it takes quite awhile to make that happen. Brushing, flossing and the routine you are following will prevent any issue with your heart at this time. It takes a serious infection in the mouth to cause any heart issues. Most peple that this happens to have an on going problem with severe periodontal disease and decayed rotting teeth. Sounds like to me that you are on top of things and I would not worry. Add a warm salty rinse into your routine and I think you will see pinky healthy gums in no time. ~M
