The mouth is the gateway to bacteria, not only can infect teeth and gums, but also can infect other parts of the body. When taking care of the mouth and teeth, many heart problems require special precautions. If someone has heart disease, high blood pressure, angina, stroke, or congestive hearing failure, discuss this with a dentist or doctor before dental surgery.
People with heart disease should be responsible for maintaining a healthy mouth by practicing good oral hygiene and visiting the dentist regularly. When they prescribe special drugs such as antibiotics, it is also important to follow the instructions of a doctor or dentist.
