According to a 2023 study in the journal Microorganisms, three types of oral bacteria—P. gingivalis, T. forsythi, and T. denticola—are linked to brain inflammation, which may increase the risk of Alzheimer's Disease. Maintaining good oral hygiene can improve your brain health. Here's what you can do to protect both your teeth and your brain: 1. Brush Twice Daily: Brushing removes plaque that can lead to gum disease and increase the risk of Alzheimer's Disease. 2. Floss Daily: Flossing cleans between teeth and along the gum line, areas that brushing often misses. 3.
