Overseas research has included 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction, and the data show that the dental health of patients with myocardial infarction is obviously worse than that of people with physical and mental health. A large and medium-sized clinical epidemiological scientific study (n = 9,760) found that periodontitis was related to the increased risk of coronary heart disease after nearly 14 years of follow-up.
Compared with general toothache, the toothache manifested by coronary heart disease is usually pain on one or both sides of the root, mostly on the left side, which tooth is actually the same. Sometimes the patient's description is not very clear, and it is likely that the toothache is connected to the cheek, but usually the gums and cheeks are not swollen. At this time, it should be immediately determined whether the toothache is caused by the tooth itself.
If there is no abnormality in dental examination, if there is toothache caused by physical exercise and emotional excitement, especially when patients have coronary heart disease risk sources such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes, be careful of typical or atypical coronary heart disease myocardial infarction or myocardial infarction.
