Can you get a heart attack from not brushing you teeth?

Question

is that possible or not

Answer 1

no but other people will if they smelled your breath

Answer 2

heart attacks are brought on by a mixture of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and a generally unhealthy lifestyle.

granted, not brushing your teeth is pretty unhealthy, but it can't affect your blood pressure or your cholesterol.

basically, no. lol

Answer 3

No, I don't think you can cause a hear attack from not brushing, but your teeth will decay and fall out if you don't brush.

Answer 4

well i'm sure cavemen never had heart attacks.

Answer 5

Well, everything potentially leads to a heart attack, but I don't think not brushing your teeth would have a direct impact on that. Personally I would rather just brush my teeth and not have to worry about it.

Answer 6

You can poison your heart's blood supply and tissue by having an infection that opens up and travels to the heart.

Answer 8

Tartar and teeth, or even plaque build up have nothing to do with the cardiovascular / resperatory / circulatory systems

Answer 9

no lts not true

Answer 10

There is a connection between bacteria in the mouth and heart disease.  So brush those pearly whites and be healthy.....  Not brushing is rather gross anyway.

Answer 11

Well, actually you can.  By not keeping the bacteria down in your mouth they can cause inflammatory infections in you mouth that can seed bacteria to your blood stream that can form an embolus that can block your coronary arteries or cause heart valve infections that can weaken your heart.
