Only brushing your teeth on a morning can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, a new study has revealed. Researchers at the Osaka University Hospital in Japan studied 1,675 patients over a three-year period, found that those who only brush on a morning, as well as those who failed to brush whatsoever, were worse off than those who brush on a night.
The patients, who were all aged 20 and over, were split into four groups based on their oral hygiene habits - people who brushed twice a day, those who only brushed on a morning, those who only did it at night, and those who never bothered whatsoever.
The patients, who visited the hospital between April 2013 and March 2016 for examination, surgery, or treatment, also allowed their age, gender, smoking history, dental and medical records to be taking into consideration during the study.
