Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
In this podcast, Doctor Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses the importance of preventing heart attacks and improving general health. He is joined by Patrick Oxborough, a dentist, who emphasizes the connection between oral health and overall health.
Gum disease, or periodontitis, has been linked to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation of the heart or infection. Treating gum disease can reduce the risk of these conditions.
Other conditions such as diabetes may also be affected by gum disease. The main strategy for treating periodontal disease is to remove bacterial irritants from around the teeth. Patients should maintain good oral hygiene habits and have regular check-ups with their dentist. Risk assessments should be done to tailor treatment plans to individual patients.
