Brush twice a day
Here's an interesting study that finds brushing teeth twice a day can significantly cut heart disease risk.
From the article regarding the study to be published soon in British Medical Journal:
Neglecting to brush twice a day could lead to a 70 percent increased risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a new large population-based study.
The hypothesis seems to be that maybe inflammation is associate with heart disease and promoting good dental hygiene can reduce one of the more common chronic sources of inflammation in the body (periodontal disease).
Anyhow, thought that was interesting
