brush away artery plaques

2009-5-16

Brushing your teeth twice per day not only will remove plaque from your teeth, but it also may keep plaques from forming in your arteries. Research shows that tooth loss is associated with higher levels of plaque in the arteries that lead to the brain. Older adults who had lost many teeth were more likely to have the plaques compared to people who didn’t experience major tooth loss as they aged. RealAge Benefit: Flossing and brushing your teeth daily can make your RealAge as much as 6.4 years younger.
