Most people have heard the old saying, "Be true to your teeth or they'll be false to you." However, few guys know that bad teeth and gums increase the risk of erectile dysfunction. Yehuda Zadik from Israeli Medical Corps found a link between poor dental health and erectile dysfunction in a study of 305 40-year-old men. The link was not strong, however. Only 19% of the men with ED had periodontal disease. Smoking is also a risk factor for ED and poor dental health. Poor blood vessel health is the common link between erection and dental problems. Scientists have discovered that erectile dysfunction is a good predictor of heart attack. This study showed that it's also related to bad teeth and gums.
