We recently talked about kissing and its relation to oral health. Today, we’re continuing our Valentine’s Day theme by detailing the connection between heart health and oral health.

Too often, we image a cute, decorative heart when we think about what a heart is. But, together with the brain, the heart is the body’s most vital organ. As such, a healthy heart is vital.

And one way you can help your heart stay strong is through a great oral care routine, which includes regular cleanings and checkups with Dr. Michel at our Topeka dental office.

As we’ve mentioned before, your smile has a direct impact on your overall wellbeing, which is why regular visits are so important. Even if doctors are still uncertain as to the exact nature of the link, the evidence points definitively towards a connection.

If you have questions about how the health of your smile can impact the health of your heart, Dr. Michel would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Call our Topeka office to schedule a visit with us. Our friendly, helpful team wants to help you have the clean, dazzling smile you’ve always dreamed of.

If you live in Topeka, Emporia, Lawrence, or Manhattan get in touch with us today. Michel Dental is dedicated to your total health, not just your oral health.
