By Brushing Your Teeth Regularly You Could Lower Dementia Risk.
According to a study from the University of California, women who brush their teeth regularly could keep their memory sharp later in life. The researchers found that elderly women who brushed their teeth less than once a day were up to 65% more likely to develop dementia than those who brushed three times a day. The study done which was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, tracked the health of almost 5,500 residents at a Californian retirement community from 1992 to 2010.
