All manner of health issues have been linked to poor oral hygiene. Failure to brush your teeth twice every day may affect cardiac health.
Key takeaways:
– Bad breath is a complete turn-off. Build up of plaque when you fail to brush will cause foul breath.
– When you don’t brush adequately and skip flossing, you increase risk of coronary heart disease. The bacteria in the mouth will find their way into the bloodstream causing damage to the heart’s vessels.
– Ensure that you brush your teeth twice every day for about two minutes to maintain good oral hygiene.
According to dentists, skipping the twice daily cleanse can lead to all sorts of health issues such as loose teeth, bleeding gums and even coronary heart disease.

Dr. Colin Conway BDS BSc South AfricaWith more than 20 years experience in dental practice, Colin has never been more excited and passionate about his dentistry!
Colin grew up in South Africa, and completed studies toward research science and dentistry degrees in South Africa. He moved from Cape Town to the UK in April 2002, and has worked in some of the UK’s leading dental practices - gaining the experience and confidence to offer a wide range of dental services.
Says Colin: "I often joke that I moved to the UK for the weather! But actually I moved because the UK offers world-class opportunities for dentists to expand their knowledge and skillset, a fact which I have embraced. I am equally comfortable doing a dental check-up and cleaning, placing a dental implant or fitting braces to straighten teeth."
Colin lives in Windsor with his partner and two dogs, enjoying the city/country balance offered by its close proximity to London. On weekends, you’re likely to find him cycling along the river or in some of the great parks surrounding the town.
