Longevity can seem something difficult to reach, but it is quite possible to extend the years of your life by leading a healthy lifestyle. Doctors point out that you can increase your life expectancy with the help of some daily habits.

In particular, doctors recommend brushing your teeth twice a day with toothpaste containing fluoride, as well as using dental floss or an interdental brush. This will help prevent premature damage to the teeth, will have a positive effect on the general condition of the body and will allow you to extend the years of your life.

The health of the oral cavity is directly related to the general condition of the body, so experts advise to be careful when brushing your teeth and do this is not only with the help of a classic toothbrush, but also with dental floss, with reference to the results of a study published in the Journal of Periodontal. “This (problems with the teeth – ed) can lead to poor absorption of food, pain, possibly even a higher risk of heart disease and stroke,” the authors of the study claim.

The main conclusion reached by the doctors , is that the use of dental floss and interdental brushes reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and heart disease. In particular, a severe infection affecting the gums, periodontitis, is closely related to CHD, say experts. In addition, poor dental health increases the risk of bacterial infection in the bloodstream, which, in turn, can also affect the condition of heart valves.
