This week the findings of a new study by the specialists from University College London were revealed. British experts are convinced that brushing our teeth two times a day is a perfect way not only to keep our teeth and guns healthy, or prevent bad breath, but it also a great strategy to avoid such problems as heart disease and keep away other serious cardio-vascular ailments.
According to the specialists, dental bacteria can affect our cardio-vascular health, and this study was aimed on researching the effects of our brushing habits on our heart. The experiments and surveys, led by Prof. Richard Watt from University College London, involved 11,000 male and female participants with different dental problems and heart health. The scientists analyzed medical histories of the patients, took their blood samples, interviewed them to learn more about their lifestyle, habits and family.
According to the records, 6 out of 10 participants visit a dentist once per 6 months, and 7 out of 10 participants have a habit of brushing their teeth two times a day. After analyzing the information and adjusting the data received, the specialists found out that those who brush their teeth two times a day on a regular basis have 70% lower chances to develop a heart disease. Therefore, brushing you teeth in the morning and in the evening is a way to healthy heart and living a long life.
It was a known fact that there are links between dental and cardio-vascular health, but this study became the first scientific research for the last 20 years, which was specifically carried out to understand the connections between these two factors. The findings and conclusions of the British specialists were recently published in the British Medical Journal.
