I’ve found the best way to explain this to patients is to sit them up. At least here in the US it’s important to speak to a patient at equal eye level. I hit on three main components:
1. It’s a difficult to control infection and I’ll have to detoxify the area between their teeth and gums.
2. The infection produces compounds that break down collagen and elastin, two main components in youthful skin.
3. Other compounds produced by the infectious nature of the disease increases their risk for heart attack, stroke and other cardiovasular events.

is CVS related to OH?i,for one do believe that a genetic co-relation does exist between all the organs and tissues having the same predominant pathogens ,which includes the CVS ,THE ENT,THE ORO-PHARYNGEAL SYSTEM.Ihave concluded this by observing hundreds of pateints during my rural postings in govt.health hospitals.
