Other research has already warned that the habit of brushing teeth is important for people who are facing respiratory or gastrointestinal illnesses. However, the new research also points out what should be the most important frequency and times for brushing.
The study was carried out at Osaka University Hospital and, to reach the conclusion, researchers selected 1675 people aged 20 years or older.
In addition, other points were considered, such as: age, sex and smoking. Selected individuals were hospitalized at the same location for treatments, surgeries or examinations.
Thus, the groups were named as 'MN', 'M', 'Night' and 'None'. O MN followed brushing twice a day and the group M brushed only in the mornings. Already the people of Night should only brush at night and participants in the None they didn't brush their teeth.
The result of the research showed that the groups MN It is Night had higher survival estimates than the None group. Another point observed was the benefit of brushing your teeth before going to bed, as, during the rest period, there is an increase in bacteria and a decrease in saliva production.
The observation period of the groups lasted almost three years. In summary, they identified that performing incorrect oral hygiene can lead to periodontal disease, the inflammation of the gums that causes tooth loss and can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseasesuch as heart attack and stroke (Cerebral Vascular Accident).
Soon, the researchers affirm that, in order to maintain health and prevent cardiovascular diseases, the people should not choose a period to brush their teeth, but keep brushing during the day and night.
