What is the correlation between teeth and your heart?

Posted by admin
Lyndee asked:


I’ve always had tooth decay since I was old enough to have teeth. Now that I am 41 yrs. old my heart specialist told me that I have PAC (premature atrial contraction) and mitral valve leakage. Upon examining my teeth, which I’ve had a few pulled and the others are rotting he said this is why you have heart problems. What does bad teeth and heart problems have in common?
