As the UK’s leading provider of dental care, an important part of our work at mydentist is encouraging good oral health practice in our patients, ensuring that their teeth and gums are well cared for and their oral health is maintained.   This World Heart Day, we wanted to discuss research linking the health of your gums with the health of your heart. Join us as we explore gum disease and the importance of a consistent oral health routine in limiting the impact poor gum health can have on your cardiovascular health and well-being.
