– It is important to treat high blood pressure to avoid chronic conditions such as kidney disease, or events such as strokes, heart attacks and heart failure.
– People with high blood pressure should look after their teeth and visit the dentist regularly to avoid gum disease.
“Gum disease may interfere with high blood pressure control, a new study suggests.”
