The Bale Doneen Method for Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention

How can my dentist prevent heart attacks and strokes?

In 2016, Drs. Bradley Bale and Amy Doneen published an article proving that periodontal bacteria are a contributing cause to cardiovascular disease. Now that we know, we have to do better.

Bleeding gums are not normal. It is a sign of inflammation and a warning flag. Would you leave a bleeding wound on your arm day after day? Would you consider a little blood in your urine normal? No.

When the gums bleed, the bacteria in the mouth is able to enter the blood stream and travel elsewhere in the body. There are published studies on people who have died of a heart attack that have oral bacteria in the clot that caused the attack. How do you think it got there?

Think about this: your skin is the barrier that protects you from all of the harmful things in the outside world. Your gums provide the same function as your skin. That barrier needs to have a tight seal in order to do its job. Contact your dental professional and demand an in-depth evaluation of your periodontal status.
