Another great use of Hydrogen Peroxide
Putting the bite on heart disease
There's fresh evidence that tooth decay is linked to serious heart disease. Doctors have found a connection between infection of the gums and disease of the main arteries in the neck - the carotid arteries. That's not the heart, but close enough: scientists reported that infections in those arteries increased the risk of heart disease and stroke. This conclusion came from a study of 52 apparently healthy people.
Researcher Dr. Mitchell Elkind, of Columbia University, New York, said: "This means that periodontal disease may not just present a problem with oral hygiene and pose a risk for loss of teeth, but it may in fact present a problem with cardiovascular health and loss of neurological function or loss of life as well."
Sounds to me like dental hygiene is something we should all catch up on - before it catches up to us.
Action to take:
Forget the toothbrush and paste; use dental floss, toothpicks, and a mechanical water irrigator, such as Waterpic or Hydrofloss, to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. Mix 1/2 an ounce of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (the kind you get at the grocery store) with the water you put in the machine. It will probably taste a little funny to you the first few times, but don't rinse your mouth out with water afterwards. Rinsing negates the effects of the peroxide.
Over easy,
