Mouth sign that could be a red flag for heart attack, warns expert

A renowned surgeon and dental health specialist has revealed that a sign in your mouth could be a significant indication of impending heart difficulties.

Dental health issues lead to inflammation which eventually leads to cardiovascular diseases and heart conditions, as per the revelation on Zoe podcast by Dr Alp Kantarci.




The medical expert further explained that gum disease significantly influences stomach microbes and overall body health, leading to serious inflammation this puts immense strain on the body. He outlined how heart attacks and strokes occur and stated: “Most of the cardiovascular diseases or cardiac diseases are the results of your blood vessels, mainly aorta becoming clogged and the aorta is the major vessel coming out from your heart and distributing all the blood to that.
