Do you want to remember anything in the future? Then, do not forget to brush and floss your teeth daily. Poor oral hygiene linked to new study that it maybe lead to Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. Researchers in University of Central Lancashire in England theorized that bacteria named Porphyromonas gingivalis which mainly reside to gum areas can enter the blood circulation during eating, masticating, tooth brushing and dental surgery. Once the bacteria have invaded the bloodstream then gone up to the brain, the immune response is activated to release chemical to kill that microorganism then eventually destroy the brain cells and can lead to memory loss or confusion like the symptoms you can see with patient suffering from Alzheimer's.
The Bottom line: Improve your dental regimen now before the mental deteriorating disease might kill you gradually.
