I would say those who state that and use it to say it is unrelated are always inherently wrong, because a single study showing only correlation is not stating or proving it can't be causation.

These people seem to think they somehow have special knowledge that proves it can't be causative, and that requires a true causative study to allow them their stance, so they belittle the rest of us with their non-existent “proof” when we, and science and math, know better.

We can't say (and aren't saying) it's proven causative, while they are stating it is proven non-causative.

Nice post.

True, correlation does not prove causation; however, it's highly unlikely that heart infections cause dental plaque. The mouth is highly septic, and breaks in containment are the one-way issue.

“...it’s highly unlikely that heart infections cause dental plaque”

You reversed what posted.

I said dental plaque is directly associated with arterial plaque.

Yes, my good FRiend, I was agreeing with you by describing the unlikeliness of infections going the other way.

I floss as much as I can, but my bottom teeth are very close together. Use my WaterPik every day - my dentist is delighted.

As I recall this is where you make a substantive comment and also where I chime in with my sarcastic comment that all know human problems relate back to either Ancient Aliens or Chronic Gum Disease.

Go see a dermatologist. The last 10 years has seen a slew of new treatments for those with diffuse lesions - Acitretin (Soriatane), Ixekizumab (Taltz), Otezla (Apremilast), Tremfya (Guselkumab) & Siliq (Brodalumab).......

I once had an abcess and needed a root canal. My dentist put me on antibiotics before he did the root canal and continued for maybe two weeks afterward. I think he did say it was to prevent heart trouble.

Of course bad diet, including a lot of white sugar and starch is hard on the mouth, and that moves into obesity, diabetes, and heart trouble. Do schools today even have health classes?

” Do schools today even have health classes?” Woke classes are now deemed more important.

Whats really funny is that they could develop a vaccine that kills the bacteria that causes tooth decay. But you will never see that.

But of course treatments at cost will continue to abound.
