Brushing twice/day w/std and sonic brushes coupled with multiple passes of floss/picks, I couldn't completely get rid of minor bleeding for the longest time so I placed a Waterpic next to the bathroom sink, filled it up so it would last all day using it for a short time after every meal to flush out material. Very quick and convenient and somewhat invigorating. Next visit to the dentist was game-changing.
I enjoyed the write-up. Learned some things... which I will forget by tomorrow but will remember at least that I'm on the right track.

@afshineemrani If dental care is so vital for overall health, why is it a separate insurance from health insurance?

Sjogren's Syndrome - a medical condition is treated thru healthcare, causes BIG dental issues, affecting health.

Dental insurance is pathetic. It should fall under medical.

I'm a cardiologist. Your dentist may be protecting your heart — and most doctors still aren't connecting these dots.
The American Heart Association just updated its scientific statement on periodontal disease and cardiovascular risk for the first time in 13 years. Their conclusion: the association between gum disease and heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation is stronger than previously recognized.
42% of American adults over 30 have periodontitis right now. Most have no idea it's affecting anything beyond their mouth.
Let me explain what's actually happening inside your body when your gums bleed.
Your mouth contains over 700 species of bacteria. When gums become infected and inflamed — the chronic condition we call periodontitis — the tissue barrier between your mouth and your bloodstream breaks down. Bacteria pour through. Not occasionally. Continuously. Every time you chew, every time you brush inflamed gums, bacteria enter systemic circulation.
One organism in particular should concern you: Porphyromonas gingivalis. I've written about it before in the context of Alzheimer's disease — it crosses the blood-brain barrier and has been found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients at autopsy. But it doesn't stop at the brain.
P. gingivalis has been found inside atherosclerotic plaques — the exact lesions I treat in the cath lab. It has been recovered from the arterial walls of heart attack and stroke patients. It is not a bystander. It is an active participant in the disease that kills more people than any other cause on earth.
Here's the cascade.
Bacteria from infected gums enter the bloodstream and trigger chronic systemic inflammation — elevated hsCRP, elevated IL-6, activated immune cells circulating throughout your vascular system. This inflammation damages the endothelium — the delicate inner lining of your arteries — promoting plaque formation, increasing oxidative stress, and shifting your blood toward a pro-clotting state.
The same inflammatory highway I've been writing about for months — connecting the gut to the brain to the heart — runs directly through your mouth. Your gums are the gateway. And for 42% of American adults, that gateway is wide open.
The AHA's updated statement highlights findings that should stop you:
The association between periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is independent of shared risk factors like smoking, diabetes, and obesity in multiple studies. This isn't just "people with bad habits have both problems." The gum disease itself appears to contribute independently.
Brushing frequency alone shows a striking relationship with cardiac risk. Data from the NHANES registry found that brushing three or more times per day was associated with a 10-year ASCVD risk of 7.35% — compared to 13.7% for brushing once daily or less. Nearly half the cardiovascular risk — associated with how often you brush your teeth.
Treating periodontitis improves systemic inflammatory markers — hsCRP, the same marker I tell every patient to test — and improves intermediate cardiovascular measures including blood pressure and HDL cholesterol.
The more severe the gum disease, the stronger the observed cardiovascular risk.
I want to connect this to the bigger picture I've been building on this platform — because the convergence is now impossible to ignore.
P. gingivalis in the brain — linked to Alzheimer's through gingipain-mediated destruction of tau proteins and preferential attack on ApoE4 carriers.
P. gingivalis in atherosclerotic plaques — linked to heart attack and stroke through chronic inflammation, endothelial damage, and plaque destabilization.
Gut dysbiosis sending misfolded proteins up the vagus nerve — linked to Parkinson's through the same inflammatory pathways.
Insulin resistance starving both the heart and the brain simultaneously.
Chronic inflammation as the common thread — measured by hsCRP, driven by metabolic dysfunction, oral infection, gut permeability, and visceral fat.
Your mouth, your gut, your heart, and your brain are not separate systems treated by separate doctors in separate buildings. They share the same inflammatory highway. And the American Heart Association just confirmed that the mouth is one of the most important on-ramps.
What you can do — starting today:
Floss daily. Not optional. Not cosmetic. This disrupts the anaerobic biofilm where P. gingivalis thrives. If you do nothing else from this post, do this.
Brush at least twice daily — three times if you can. The cardiovascular data on brushing frequency alone is striking.
See your dentist every 3-6 months. Do not skip cleanings. Do not ignore bleeding gums — bleeding means the barrier is broken and bacteria are entering your blood.
Consider tongue scraping — it reduces bacterial load in the oral cavity.
If you have periodontitis, treat it aggressively. This is not a dental issue. It is a cardiovascular risk factor.
Get your hsCRP tested. If it's elevated, your mouth is one of the first places to investigate — along with gut health, metabolic function, and visceral fat.
The most fascinating thing about this entire body of science is what it implies:
One of the highest-ROI cardiovascular interventions available to any human being — free, available tonight, requiring no prescription and no doctor's visit — is flossing your teeth.
It's not glamorous. It will never go viral the way a new drug does. But the American Heart Association just dedicated an entire scientific statement to telling you that your gums and your arteries are connected — and that treating one may protect the other.
Your mouth is the gateway to your heart. Treat it that way.

Many people including myself view Narendra Modi’s diplomatic timing and energy strategy as highly proactive, especially when global tensions affect oil prices and supply chains.

India imports a large share of its crude oil, so even small spikes in global prices can directly impact fuel prices, inflation, transport costs, and household expenses.

The recent rise in crude prices amid tensions in West Asia has again highlighted how important strategic international relations are for India.

Meetings with leaders and foreign ministers from countries like Russia, and Iran are often seen as part of a broader effort to secure energy stability, diversify supply sources, and protect India’s economic interests during uncertain times.

India has also, over the last few years, increased focus on discounted crude imports, strategic petroleum reserves, renewable energy expansion, ethanol blending, and reducing long-term dependence on volatile global oil markets.

In periods of geopolitical instability, strong diplomatic engagement can play a significant role in cushioning economic shocks for a country of India’s scale. Hats off to the leadership and strategic vision. 🇮🇳

सेवा में,
श्रीमती रेखा गुप्ता जी
माननीय मुख्यमंत्री, दिल्ली

विषय: गैर आवश्यक कर्मचारियों के लिए वर्क फ्रॉम होम को प्रोत्साहित करने हेतु अनुरोध

महोदया,

वर्तमान आर्थिक एवं वैश्विक परिस्थितियों को देखते हुए, मेरा विनम्र अनुरोध है कि दिल्ली सरकार गैर आवश्यक सरकारी कर्मचारियों के लिए, जहाँ संभव हो, वर्क फ्रॉम होम की अनुमति देने पर विचार करे तथा निजी कंपनियों को भी इसके लिए प्रोत्साहित करे।

यह छोटा लेकिन प्रभावशाली कदम ईंधन की बचत, ट्रैफिक जाम में कमी, प्रदूषण नियंत्रण तथा अनावश्यक सार्वजनिक आवाजाही को कम करने में अत्यंत सहायक सिद्ध होगा। साथ ही, यह माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी के “Nation First” के आह्वान को भी मजबूती प्रदान करेगा तथा देश के बहुमूल्य संसाधनों की रक्षा में योगदान देगा।

दिल्ली में प्रतिदिन लाखों लोग आवागमन करते हैं। ऐसे में यदि आंशिक रूप से भी इस व्यवस्था को लागू किया जाता है, तो इससे देश को आर्थिक एवं पर्यावरणीय स्तर पर बड़ा लाभ मिल सकता है।

मुझे पूर्ण विश्वास है कि सरकार जनहित एवं राष्ट्रहित को ध्यान में रखते हुए इस सुझाव पर सकारात्मक विचार करेगी।

सादर

To,
Smt. Rekha Gupta Ji
Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi

Subject: Request to Encourage Work From Home for Non Essential Staff
Respected Madam,

In view of the present economic and global situation, I humbly request the Delhi Government to consider allowing Work From Home for non essential government staff, wherever feasible, and to encourage private companies to adopt the same.

This small but impactful step will help reduce fuel consumption, traffic congestion, pollution, and unnecessary public movement. It will also support the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s appeal of putting Nation First and contribute towards saving valuable national resources.

With lakhs of daily commuters in Delhi, even partial implementation can lead to significant economic and environmental benefits for the nation.

I sincerely hope the Government will consider this suggestion in the larger public and national interest.

With regards,
Pankaj Wadhawan

I completely agree that in a democracy, the opposition plays a very important role. In fact, the very idea of having a strong opposition is the true fabric of democracy.

However, when a country is going through extremely difficult times, whether it is a war like situation, a pandemic, an economic crisis, or any challenge that can affect the very fabric of the nation, it becomes the duty of every political party to think Nation First.

The geopolitical situation across the world is extremely sensitive right now. Honestly speaking, managing and running a developing country during such uncertain times is not an easy task. There is caution, there is concern, and there is a sense of pain and sacrifice that citizens may have to go through. Yet, despite global instability, India is standing strong and stable.

I genuinely feel that the diplomacy, proactive approach, and leadership shown by the government deserve appreciation. The fact that the country is functioning without panic, and people are not struggling for basic survival despite global pressures, reflects strong governance and careful management.

This is the time when the opposition should stand in unity with the government and support the nation through this difficult phase. Politics can wait. Criticism can happen later. But during challenging times, the country must come before personal agendas and political gains.

Citizens are watching closely what role the opposition chooses to play in these moments. This is the time to show responsibility, maturity, and love for the nation. Stand with the country first. Opposition politics can always continue later, but national unity during difficult times is remembered forever.

Extremely concerning words from the highest chair of justice. RTI activists and independent media are the pillars of accountability in a democracy, not parasites.

Dehumanizing unemployed youth who turn to activism to question the system reflects a deep disconnect from the ground reality of joblessness in our country.

DELHI: 16-YEAR-OLD MINOR GIRL MISSING FOR TWO WEEKS

Her parents are seen pleading with police to trace their daughter

The girl is suspected to have been lured away by a sexual predator

Matter falls under Burari Police Station, under @DcpNorthDelhi

@joinsif, backed by @sewanyaya, is now taking the matter to court

A missing minor is not a “family matter” but a child-protection emergency, where every such complaint must be acted upon with immediate and full might of the law

Even after losing elections TMC goons have killed three BJP supporters. One among them is brother of a newly elected MLA. And another is PA of Suvendu Adhikari, likely CM of West Bengal. New BJP Govt has to forget all niceties and go after the rascals with brutal force.

[Ganesh @me_ganesh14]

The car in which Suvendu Adhikari PA travelled Chandranath Rath had West Bengal Legislative Assembly On Duty sticker. Despite this they executed murder now imagine the condition of common man. Now there's a serious need for a UP Model encounter in Bengal from day 1.

[Airtel @xottated]

@AdityaRajKaul He is dead ... RIP
Suvendu Adhikari should be on high alert

[Darshit Kalsariya @Darshit2211_]

@AdityaRajKaul The killing of Suvendu Adhikari’s PA Chandra near Madhyagram is deeply shocking.
Political rivalry should never turn into bloodshed — West Bengal urgently needs peace, accountability, and strict law enforcement.

@WeDravidians Theoretically, someone could train a deepfake, but that doesn’t mean it will bypass facial recognition. These systems create a secure template using facial geometry, depth/infrared data. Apple’s Face ID maps 30,000+ depth points, so normal videos can’t reproduce true 3D depth.
