 - Antibiotics before dental treatments
 - Pre-medication may be necessary for certain dental procedures if you have some kind of medical condition related to the heart. In such cases, you may be advised by your doctor to take antibiotics before your appointment as a safeguard to your health.
Any time there is bleeding in the mouth oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream and travel to the heart. This presents a risk for some patients who have heart abnormalities.
Gum infections and poor dental hygiene at home may spread heart-threatening bacteria. Take good care of your teeth by brushing at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Clean between your teeth with dental floss and or an interdental cleaner once a day. Schedule regular dental appointments to have your teeth cleaned and examined.
If you are a patient with heart disease or if you have a special heart condition, taking good care of your teeth and gums is a must - not just for a healthy smile, but also for a healthy body too.

- Harmful effects of soft drinks
- Popular carbonated soft drinks can cause tooth decay. A can of soft drinks contains approximately 6 teaspoonful of sugar (~130 Calories). Sugar combines with bacteria in your mouth to form acid, which attacks the teeth. These ongoing acid attacks weaken tooth structures. Cavities begin when tooth enamel is damaged. "Diet" or "sugar free" soda pop are also acidic and your teeth can be harmed. Although fruit juices are not carbonated, they also have food acid and fruit sugar that may cause tooth decay.
To reduce the chances of tooth decay, take soft drinks and fruit juice in moderation. Do not sip on soft drinks for extended period as sipping exposes your teeth to prolonged sugar and acid attacks. Use a straw to keep soda away from your teeth. After drinking soda, rinse your mouth with water to dilute the sugar and acid that cause tooth decay. If you take soft drinks or juice before bed, be sure to brush your teeth.
It is generally advised that you drink water instead of soft drinks. Water has no sugar, no acid, no calories and contributes to overall health. Also, get regular dental checkups and cleanings. Floss regularly and use fluoride toothpaste to help remove bacteria buildup and prevent tooth decay.
