Those who do not brush their teeth before going to bed are more more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease, a study has found.
Researchers who studied 1,675 patients over a three year period found morning-only brushers and those who didn't do it at all were worse off than those who brush at night.
The patients, all 20 and over, were split into four groups based on their oral hygiene habits; people who brushed twice a day (once after waking up and once before bed), those who only brushed in the morning, people who only did it at night, and those who did not practice oral hygiene at all.
