Study: Oral Health and its Relationship with Alzheimer's Disease

Oral hygiene is a proof of the health of the body, and washing one's teeth if not a daily habit will lead to many complications for the health of the mouth, teeth, tongue and gums.

Oral health and its link with Alzheimer's disease:

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Daily tooth cleaning can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The study emphasized the importance of cleaning teeth at least twice a day, as well as protecting people against many diseases.

Details of the study:

Scientists have discovered bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth decay in brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid and Alzheimer's disease.

Experiments have shown that bacteria spread from the mouth to the brain, where the cells of this vital organ are destroyed.

Oral diseases:

According to medical statistics and figures, about 45% of the world's population suffers from periodontal disease.

Commenting on the study, the British Dental Society said: "The study confirms the importance of oral health as a fundamental issue and not as a secondary."
