We all know that brushing twice a day is essential for good dental hygiene. Among other things, it keeps dental stains, cavities, poor breath, and sensitivity at bay. However, did you know that the advantages go much beyond oral health? In particular, brushing at night is linked to heart health. Therefore, if you skip this late-night habit because you're too tired, it could eventually harm your heart and possibly lead to heart failure.
On march 9, Dr. Kunal Sood, MD, posted a reel on instagram in response to an Internet user who shared that cardiovascular illnesses could result from not brushing at night. Dr. Sood concurred and offered his perspective on the causes of this health complexity.
Nighttime brushing not only for cavities…
The results of not brushing your teeth properly or with seriousness include cavities, tooth discomfort, and other dental issues. However, the seemingly harmless practice of not brushing before bed can have deadly and life-threatening repercussions. However, why does this occur? How does having bacteria in your mouth overnight get so bad?
According to research cited in the video, Dr. Kunal Sood clarified that skipping nighttime tooth brushing could put you at risk for more than just cavities. Poor dental hygiene may be associated with an increased risk of heart disease and heart failure, according to research. According to the notion, oral bacteria can enter your bloodstream and cause inflammation, which over time might harm your heart. Although the actual link between poor dental hygiene and heart disease has not been established, experts have discovered a substantial correlation.
He cited a 2023 study that went into great detail about the negative consequences of skipping nighttime dental brushing.
Good effects of brushing at night
Regular brushing is more than just keeping your teeth clean and your breath fresh. It prevents a lot of major health issues. As Dr. Kunal Sood clarified, it's actually a crucial preventative measure against possible heart failure and cardiovascular disorders. He also cited another study that found that cleaning your teeth should not be done twice a day in order to maintain heart health.
"People who brush more often tend to have healthier hearts," Dr. Sood continued. Research indicates that frequent dental cleanings and brushing at least three times a day are associated with a decreased risk of heart disease. Additionally, poor oral hygiene, gum disease, and tooth loss have all been linked to increased cardiovascular risks.
