Tooth-Loss and Heart Disease link quantified

There is strong, progressive association between tooth loss and heart disease, according to a report titled, "Tooth Loss and Heart Disease: Finding from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System," published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (December 2005, Supplement 1, pages 50-56 ).

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that there was a 21 percent increase in the incidence of heart disease among patients missing one to five teeth, a 60 percent increase among patients missing six to 31 teeth, and an 81 percent increase in heart disease among patients with no remaining teeth.
