Inflammation…….. Not good. Not good anywhere in your body! A new study in the British Medical Journal found that even minor gum inflammation can take a toll on your arteries. Sooooooooooooo if you are one of the 40 percent of women who confess to poor oral hygiene, please know that you may be harming not only your teeth and gums but your heart as well. In this same study they found that people who brushed their teeth twice a day were 30 percent less likely to develop heart disease. So simple!

Get off your butt and brush! And don’t forget to floss!!
