Men can Impotence Just Because Toothache

Men are usually more indifferent as she felt no symptoms of disease in the body, including toothache. But from now on it seems you have to pay more attention to dental health if you do not want impotence aka erectile dysfunction at a young age.
A new study found that men who experience problems with teeth and gums two times more likely to experience erectile dysfunction. The research results have been published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, explains that when people suffer from gum disease, bacteria from the mouth can enter the blood.
Once in the bloodstream, the bacteria can affect the blood vessels and arteries, causing it to harden and narrow, as occurs in heart disease. Well, the effect on the blood vessels may also increase the risk of erectile dysfunction.
As is known, many studies have shown that erectile dysfunction is an early warning sign of heart disease. This is because the body needs a good blood supply for erection and blood vessels in a smaller area like a penis.
The research was conducted by scientists from Inonu University, Turkey. Researchers studied a group of normal men (erectile dysfunction signs) and another group with erectile dysfunction.
Researchers found that 53 percent of men with erectile dysfunction to severe gum disease, while only 23 percent of those who do not have the disease.
"This relationship may seem frivolous, but research clearly shows that severe gum disease as a possible cause of erectile dysfunction," explains Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, as reported by the Daily Mail, Thursday (03/28/2013).
According to Dr. Carter, not only oral health are a trigger erectile dysfunction, but also self-confidence, self-esteem and relationships with partners. To avoid it, there are a number of things you can do to stop the progression of gum disease.
"Disposing of food stuck between the teeth near the gum line is a very important step to prevent gum disease. Use interdental brushes or flossing is the best way to do this. Brushing alone only cleans 60 percent of the surface of the tooth, so this is the best way remove plaque, causes gum disease, "added Dr. Carter.
