Oral health care goes beyond aesthetic question, as have the scientists at the University of Hiroshima, Japan.

After studying 358 people between 50 and 60 years, the researchers noted that those with less than 24 original teeth have 57% more likely to suffer a Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) than those that have the complete dentition. And one of the simplest ways and effective to retain teeth is by the use of dental floss.

as the mouth is full of bacteria, the chances of developing some peridontal disease gradually increases if the person does not use the Floss. Scientists believe that these bacteria may be responsible for the bottleneck of the walls of the arteries and the accumulation of fat in them, which would result in the AVC.
