Abstract / Description:
rushing your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes may lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, a new study suggests.
Previous studies have found a link between heart disease and periodontal disease ñ a condition marked by gum infection, gum inflammation and tooth damage. The new study, being presented Saturday at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions meeting in Chicago, looked at whether a person's tooth-brushing habits were associated with their risk of having or dying from a heart attack, heart failure or stroke.
