Poor oral hygiene practices increase the risk of heart disease by 70%, according to a new study published in the journal BMJ. Brushing teeth at twice a day can decrease the risk, including reducing the chances of heart attack.
Researchers in England analyzed data from almost 12,000 people taking part in the Scottish Health Survey. This study examined lifestyle habits such as smoking, physical activity, and oral health routines, such as visiting the dentist and brushing teeth.
