Chris Palmer: BRUSH YOUR TEETH

Chris Palmer, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, recently shared on X/Twitter:

“BRUSH. YOUR. TEETH.

It could save your life, especially if you’re in the hospital!

Daily toothbrushing may be associated with significantly lower rates of hospital-acquired pneumonia, particularly in patients receiving mechanical ventilation, lower rates of ICU mortality, shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, and shorter ICU length of stay.

I’m happy to say that I did include this in my book!”
