Chris Palmer: BRUSH YOUR TEETH
Chris Palmer, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, recently shared on X/Twitter:
“BRUSH. YOUR. TEETH.

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!”
