Frequency of daily tooth brushing and subsequent cardiovascular events

Conclusions Frequent tooth brushing was inversely associated with subsequent cardiovascular events in a dose-dependent manner. Even brushing one’s teeth once a day may be related to an increased likelihood of stroke than brushing one’s teeth after every meal. Less frequent tooth brushing may be considered to be a marker for subsequent cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease, rather than a risk factor.
