When bacteria from plaque enter the bloodstream through the gums, they can travel to various parts of the body, including the brain, potentially causing inflammation and damage to organs such as the heart, lungs, and brain.

What is the connection between tartar in the mouth and nerve damage in the brain?

Tartar buildup in the mouth can release bacteria and toxins that may travel to the brain, where they can form plaques, including beta-amyloid plaques, which are linked to Alzheimer's disease and cause nerve damage.

What simple tips can help prevent dental issues linked to Alzheimer's?

The key to preventing dental issues and related risks like Alzheimer’s is regular brushing with proper technique, flossing, and visiting a dentist regularly for professional cleanings to prevent plaque buildup.
