Recent research has revealed a fascinating connection between oral hygiene and immunity. A study published in BDJ Open in 2025 found that toothbrushing enhances the antiviral activity of saliva, potentially helping protect against influenza. Just five minutes after brushing, saliva's ability to fight viruses significantly increases — giving your daily oral care routine a whole new level of importance.

This particular study was conducted by researchers from the Lion Corporation and Kanagawa Dental University in Japan.)
Why Oral Hygiene Affects Your Immunity
While most people brush their teeth for fresh breath or cavity prevention, the study highlights that reducing oral bacteria through toothbrushing can improve saliva's antiviral effectiveness. Saliva is more than just moisture in your mouth — it contains natural enzymes and proteins that fight viruses. By keeping your mouth clean, you're supporting one of your body's first lines of defense against illnesses like influenza.
