The American Heart Association defines "normal" blood pressure as a systolic pressure under 120 and a diastolic pressure under 80--or 120/80. Anything above 140/90 is considered hypertensive. Values in between are considered prehypertensive. The 140/90 threshold for hypertension is considered an arbitrary cutoff. There are benefits to having a blood pressure that is even lower than the "normal" range. So even people who start out with a so-called normal blood pressure of 120/80 appear to benefit from going down to 110/70. [2015] - Michael Greger

This can alert you if harmful periodontal pathogens are at an unhealthy level, indicating the probability that they are breeding in gum pockets around your teeth. I suggest everyone takes a salivary mouth test for periodontal pathogens along with an oral cancer screening, at least every couple of years. If you have active gum disease, I believe you should consider testing immediately and then monitor your oral health until it is satisfactory and remains stable. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
