Dental health crucial to heart health

According to a huge study recently published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, participants with 1 to 6 teeth missing (not counting teeth lost to injury or orthodontics) were 1.2 times more likely to have cardiovascular illness. Those with 6 to 31 teeth missing were 1.64 times as likely.

Steve - in short...brush, floss, and eating right go hand in hand for optimal cardiovascular and dental health!
