Stroke has multiple risk factors that you can control:
1. Gum disease
2. Poor diet
3. Obesity
4. High cholesterol
5. Diabetes
6. Cigarette smoking
Assess your risk for stroke by being aware of risk factors that you cannot control:
1. Age
2. Genetics
3. Gender
There are certain risk factors for stroke for women under the age of 55 that are not widely known:
1. Taking birth control pills
2. Using hormone-replacement therapy
3. A history of migraine headaches
Visit your dental professional
at least twice a year for check-ups and dental cleanings.
Keep smiling.
