Dental hygiene benefits

[Carnelian]

My dentist has been saying this to me. Maintain your dental health! It is often undervalued and neglected.

Hey jcgtok17,

You might want to check your patient registration card, the Trifecta is made 27mm & 29mm, there is no 28mm.

It is in fact 27mm.

Wow! Were there any symptoms befor the heart ? The infection got into the blood?

The bacteria got into my bloodstream from my mouth. Usually dental surgery, but possible with just flossing/brushing. I was tired and felt a flutter in my chest about 6 weeks before final diagnosis. I was increasingly tired, but it was finally a fever of 103 daily that prompted the tests that discovered the bacteremia and finally the infective endocarditis (IE). Scary stuff indeed. Back on exercise kick, 8.5km run and 10k row yest. Only limitation is heart rate to 140 only.
