I went to the hospital to see a dentist, and the doctor said I had heart problems!

Xiao Li, who is in his early 30s, has always been in good health. However, he had to go to the hospital because of the toothache he had suffered for several days.

He was already very busy, so he chose a less busy afternoon to see the doctor. According to his plan, if he finished the dental check-up in time, he could spare some time to spend with his children.

However, when he arrived at the hospital, he found that seeing a doctor was not that simple: he had to queue up for registration, then queue up for consultation, and then queue up for examinations. After the whole process, two hours had passed. However, he did not receive the news that he had recovered and could leave.

The doctor suddenly asked him: Have you had chest tightness or a particularly fast heartbeat recently? This question made him very puzzled: I came to see a dentist, not for any other illness!

Although he didn't quite understand the doctor's purpose, he didn't want to offend the doctor, so he could only obediently follow the doctor's instructions and do some heart examinations.

Since some test results would not come out until the next day, he had to return home disappointed.

On the way back, he was increasingly puzzled: Did the doctor order too many tests? Could it be that...

Thinking of this, he became a little excited. This excitement was not a big deal, but he suddenly felt short of breath.

After squatting on the ground for a long time, he slowly moved forward.

After this incident, he seemed to think that the doctor was right. And it seemed that the doctor knew his condition very well. So he turned around and went back to the hospital.

This time, he directly asked for hospitalization.

The patient requested to be hospitalized and was a highly suspicious patient, so the doctor would not refuse. Therefore, Xiao Li was successfully hospitalized.

As more and more examination items were performed after hospitalization, more and more truths came to light: the target was a disease - heart disease. In addition, the causative disease - dental disease was also given.

At this point, I believe everyone is confused. In fact, this is a rare situation, but it does exist.

The doctor confirmed that the disease he urgently needed treatment for was infective endocarditis.

Heart disease is a very common disease in our daily life. Doctors explain that there are many causes of heart disease, and medical research shows that toothache can also cause heart disease.

So the question is, why can toothache lead to heart disease?

Scientific research shows that periodontal disease has a significant inducing effect on heart disease.

When periodontal disease occurs and is not treated, the bacteria in the mouth will enter the blood circulation, causing the heart and arteries to be contaminated by periodontal pathogenic bacteria. If the body is affected by these bacteria for a long time, the chance of developing heart disease will increase accordingly.

After knowing the truth, Xiao Li finally put his mind at ease and started to receive treatment. He finally understood a truth: health is the most important thing, and only with a good health can you have everything!
