the necessity for effective dental health service in cardiology
The two principal diseases involving the teeth and their surrounding
tissues - caries and periodontoclasia - are, for all practical purpose,
entirely preventable. Prevention of these dental diseases should also
prevent those diseases of the heart in which the infection comes from
such foci. Under these circumstances the health welfare, and even life
itself, of persons who have heart conditions which predispose to infection
may depend upon prevention and control of dental disease.
