Tooth loss is associated with an increased risk of hypertension: A nationwide population-based cohort study.

Tooth loss is closely associated with suboptimal oral care. Suboptimal oral care can facilitate local infections. These can lead to systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, which are important pathological mechanisms of hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the link betwee...
