Now your dentist AND your cardiologist may high-five you for flossing. 🙌

Some research shows people who flossed at least once a week had a lower risk for strokes caused by blood clots coming from the heart. They also had a lower risk for atrial fibrillation, or AFib, an irregular heart rhythm that can lead to a stroke.

Flossing can help prevent gum disease and oral infections. These are linked to inflammation, which may contribute to hardened arteries and a higher risk of stroke. The research is preliminary, but there’s really no downside to adding flossing to your healthy routine.

Yes. Dentists are doctors.

A dentist earns a professional doctoral degree—typically Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS)—and is licensed to diagnose, prevent, and treat diseases and conditions of the oral cavity, teeth, jaws, and associated craniofacial structures.

The important distinction is that dentists are doctors of dental medicine, not physicians. Physicians generally hold an MD or DO, while dentists hold a DMD or DDS. Both are healthcare doctors, but their education, licensure, and scopes of practice differ.

And in specialties such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, dentistry overlaps substantially with medicine and surgery—particularly in trauma, pathology, reconstruction, and diseases of the jaws and facial region.

So the short answer is: Yes, dentists are doctors—just not necessarily medical doctors (physicians).💜💚
