A study from Advanced Dentistry of Butler showcases that dental problems at a young age lead to health conditions in the future. The study evaluated more than 750 children between six and 12 years old in 1980. Only five percent of the children showed no signs of oral problems such as cavities, filled teeth, or bleeding gums.
The researchers followed up on their study from 2001 to 2007 when they conducted a cardiovascular evaluation. The follow-up found that children who had at least one sign of oral health problems were twice as likely to develop thicker arteries in adulthood. A thick artery is a condition in which a person has the two internal layers of the artery thicker than they would usually be and is a condition that can cause stroke or heart attack.
