Toothbrushing is good for the heart, says new research

Toothbrushing is good for the heart, says new research

Brushing teeth frequently is linked with lower risks of atrial fibrillation and heart failure, according to a study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Previous research suggests that poor oral hygiene leads to bacteria in the blood, causing inflammation in the body. Inflammation increases the risks of atrial fibrillation and heart failure.

Happy 2020 to Dr Moyes and colleagues. I hesitated before putting finger to keyboard on this topic, it’s too easy, and a real barn door isn’t it?

What people are saying about GDPUK

Clive Pidgeon

Many thanks for a great idea which has served me very well over the years,

I`ve just had a `phone call from a company conducting a survey on behalf of the BDA. The survey was particularly interested in my use of the internet and what way I get my "dentistry intelligence" (new ideas, training ideas etc). When asked about the "most important source of dental information" I gave GDPUK as my answer; to be honest, I didn`t expect the response from the lady that I got: "Oh I hear that so much".

Ed Byrne

"Changes in the NHS, commercial pressures and the challenges of regulation have definitely made it more difficult to sit back and enjoy your dentistry.However, I firmly believe that GDPUK provides a wonderful family where practitioners can communicate, obtain support and advice. Practitioners need no longer be isolated. Help and advice is just a posting away."
