Not Brushing Teeth Can Cause Heart Disease

[Sacred Tsahaylu]

Studies have recently shown that not brushing your teeth twice a day can increase risks of heart disease by 70%.

Brushing teeth 'halts' heart disease

I was amazed by this discovery. New tip: brush round in a circle with your toothbrush at an angle so as to brush the largest area. Gums should be brushed, too, and teeth should be flossed

Sure, I brush and floss... obsessively...

But when I saw the title for this, first thing that popped in my head was, "What?!" Pro'ly same for most, but mine was more of a Hurley-from-Lost-style "what".

Flossing removes the plaque that brushing doesn't get at, you're better off not brushing but flossing daily than brushing and not flossing. Try flossing. If your teeth hurt after you do it for the first time, then you need to keep doing it, because something's wrong.

Also, that's like saying "getting chemo can't save you from dying of cancer, because it's obviously a ploy that the people who manufacture the machines that apply radiation, right?"

I brush my teeth like...waaay too much. I'm on obsessive tooth brusher and flosser XD. My friends always look at me weird when I floss, they're like "You actually do that?" So, I'd say I'm "safe" from that. But I think it's bad if you brush your teeth too much too, isn't it? I don't know. Just rambling here.

I also wonder about how the Na'vi have such white, white teeth. Do they brush too, or is it some magical carbon fiber bio-life thing at work or something?

probably something to do with their diet. and not drinking coffee.
