A 2019 study found that 68% of Americans don’t floss daily. If you’re one of them, know that oral health is closely connected to heart health. Research by the European Society of Cardiology concluded that poor oral habits increase the risk of heart disease.

In 2018, another study compared people who brush once a day to those who brush twice a day. If you brush once a day or less, you are three times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. Scientists still don’t know whether this is correlation or causation, but either way, take care of your teeth.
