Brushing is an essential component of personal hygiene which gets rid of bacteria from your mouth and make you confident when you are interacting with others.<\/p>\n

It seems there\u2019s an added bonus to brushing as a new study sighted on DailyMail states that the everyday ritual could help lower your chances of heart failure. <\/p>\n

It is thought that frequent brushing reduces bacteria living between the teeth and gums, preventing it entering the bloodstream.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scientists in South Korea examined the connection between oral hygiene and heart problems in the study of 161,000 people aged between 40 and 79.<\/p>\n

They had a routine medical examination between 2003 and 2004.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By the time of a follow-up ten years later, around 5 per cent had developed heart failure and three per cent atrial fibrillation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Brushing three or more times a day was associated with a 12 per cent lower risk of heart failure and a 10 per cent reduced risk of atrial fibrillation.<\/p>\n

The findings were independent of factors including age, sex, financial status, regular exercise, alcohol consumption and body mass index.<\/p>\n

Other studies have shown that poor oral hygiene leads to bacteria in the blood, causing inflammation in the body.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This increases the risk of an irregular beat and heart failure.<\/p>\n

The heart\u2019s ability to pump blood or relax and fill with blood is impaired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Senior study author Dr Tae-Jin Song, of Ewha Woman\u2019s University in Seoul, said: \u2018We studied a large group over a long period, which adds strength to our findings.\u2019<\/p>\n

The research was published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.\u00a0<\/p>\n
