How important is
it to brush your teeth? Well, more and more studies are showing that keeping
your teeth and your mouth clean can actually be effective at preventing, of all
things, heart disease. That’s right. We have found that people who have
bacterial infections, periodontal disease, are more likely to have problems
associated with heart disease. Now, whether it’s because of the teeth or it’s
because of the fact that certain individuals may not take care of their teeth
or their overall health, we’re not sure. But there is clearly that association.
