Don't brush your teeth. Lol.

Studies show that seeing your dentist often and taking care of your teeth will shorten the amount of time it takes you to conceive by TWO whole months or more!

I read that too gum disease can also lead to heart disease

Fate

@preggointx I did not know that! My mother has gum disease. :-S

There is a direct link between gum disease and heart disease, that's why going to the dentist is so important! As for fertility, I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me.

@Frantastic, I heard it on the radio during a fertility commercial.

Like I said, it wouldn't surprise me. They are just now doing research on oral health and how it relates to your overall health. They've done studies showing that the amount of plaque on your teeth directly correlates with the amount of plaque in your arteries.
