We all know that oral health is part of living a healthy lifestyle, but this study takes it one step further and shows a link between the bacteria that cause dental cavities and a higher risk for stroke!

"The authors hypothesize that the S. mutans bacteria may bind to blood vessels weakened by age and high blood pressure, causing arterial ruptures in the brain, leading to small or large hemorrhages."

INTERESTING!

In a study of patients entering the hospital for acute stroke, researchers have increased their understanding of an association between certain types of stroke and the presence of the oral bacteria (cnm-positive Streptococcus mutans).
