Dentists also saw improvements in patients’ cholesterol and fatty acid levels, both associated with heart health

If a looming root canal treatment is putting a dampener on the week, take heart: having the procedure can drive health benefits that are felt throughout the body, according to research.

Patients who were successfully treated for root canal infections saw their blood sugar levels fall significantly over two years, suggesting that ridding the body of the problematic bacteria could help protect against type 2 diabetes.

Dentists also saw improvements in patients’ blood cholesterol and fatty acid levels, both of which are associated with heart health. Yet more benefits were seen around inflammation, a driver for cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions.

      Who would have ever guessed that the hypocrite lying liars that always lie would ever lie about such a thing!? Well I never!

      I’m so glad our representatives aren’t the absolute peak of naive and gullible of all people in existence. It would really suck to be depending on insanely naive and pathetic people.
