This is an amazing fact which was not given proper recognition.Infections in the oral cavity can affect valves in the heart which may require surgery in the later part of life.

Oh this is something I am hearing for the first time. I never knew these two things were connected. By the way, brushing twice is good for the teeth as well.

Yes, Nicotine traces found in popular dental care products (toothpastes/dant manjans). Product that contains nicotine can be addictive like other nicotine products such as cigarettes , tobacco etc. It can lead to the problems like oral inflammation and cancer.

That's informative. So, do you think, or suggest we should not use such products? But how do we know they could cause cancer later on? I haven't yet heard any such case yet.

Here I share another information. Poor oral hygiene not affects heart but also affects lungs leading to collection of pus what we call lung abscess.

I have heard that tooth has connection with heart. Hence whenever dentist inject medicine into tooth gum, he ask for heart disease, if any.
Brushing can reduce heart problem is interesting.

It is just an adulteration in toothpaste not a general practice, according to the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act, 2003, no non-tobacco product can contain tobacco and nicotine.

So, you mean it may happen only if the product is adulterated and not otherwise? Then it is fine. I thought every toothpaste has nicotine.

If you see that report, it is mentioned that in year 2008 only one brand was having it but in year 2011 it was found in other brands also. Let's see what will happen next as most of them are denying use of nicotine or tobacco.

What report and where can I see that? Can you post the link so that all members here can see it. I would like to know if it is the brand that I use.
