Response: Oral Bacteria Linked to Stroke Risk

At Federici Dental, we want to provide our patients with the finest general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments available, while educating them on the latest in oral health research. Drs. Dave and Joe are always expanding their knowledge, and eager to learn more about how to improve their processes, techniques and advice to patients.

Recently, researchers at the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center made a starting discovery. They found that around 26% of patients who had a type of oral bacteria found in their saliva experienced intracerebral hemorrhage, better known as a stroke. This study provides evidence that not only is maintaining a strong oral hygiene routine important for your oral and overall health, but also specifically for your brain health. You can find out more about this incredible discovery by reading this article: Oral Bacteria Linked To Stroke Risk.
