Toothbrushing Less Than Twice a Day Linked to Increased CV Risk!

From Medscape
Individuals who do not brush their teeth twice a day have an increased risk of heart disease, a new study shows [1].

The study was published online May 27, 2010 in BMJ; corresponding author is Prof Richard Watt (University College London, UK).
The researchers note that while it has been established that inflammation in the body (including mouth and gums) plays an important role in the buildup of atherosclerosis, this is the first study to investigate whether the number of times individuals brush their teeth has any bearing on the risk of developing heart disease.
