“Doctor, I always brush my teeth in the morning… but sometimes I fall asleep before brushing at night.”

This is something we hear almost every day at Ledismile.

What many people don’t realize is that skipping tooth brushing at night doesn’t only increase the risk of cavities or gum disease — it may also affect your heart health.

What Happens During the Night?

When you don’t brush your teeth before bed:

• Bacteria and dental plaque multiply for hours

• The risk of gum inflammation increases

• Oral inflammation can enter the bloodstream

The Link Between Oral Health and the Heart

Scientific studies have shown that people who regularly skip nighttime brushing have a higher risk of cardiovascular problems, including:

• Heart failure

• Cardiac arrhythmias

• Blood vessel diseases

The main cause? Chronic inflammation, which often starts in the mouth.

Morning Brushing Is Important.

Night Brushing Is Essential.

Nighttime brushing is one of the simplest daily habits — and one of the most powerful ways to protect:

• ✔️ Your teeth

• ✔️ Your gums

• ✔️ Your overall health

💎 At Ledismile, we see every day how small daily habits create the biggest long-term impact.
