Flossing your teeth at least once a week may be linked to a lower risk of stroke, as reported in a study presented at the recent American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference. According to the American Academy of Periodontology.

These findings were part of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, one of the first large-scale investigations in the U.S. to study heart health. More than 6,000 people were surveyed via questionnaire regarding their home use of dental floss over a 25-year period. In addition, participants were asked about blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, body mass index, education, brushing habits, and dental visits.

The study found that flossing was associated with a 22% lower risk of ischemic stroke, 44% lower risk of cardioembolic stroke (blood clots traveling from the heart), and 12% lower risk of AFib. The associated lower risk was independent of regular brushing and routine dental visits or other oral hygiene behaviors.#mallardcreekfamilydentistry #americanstrokeassociation
