Hospital-Borne Pneumonia Can Be Prevented By Toothbrushing, TAU Study

Finds

Raanan, who works at the Sheba Academic School of Nursing at The

Chaim Sheba Medical Center, collaborated with a team of nurses at

major medical centers around Israel.

The nurses found that if patients - even unconscious ones - have

their teeth brushed three times a day, the onset of pneumonia can be

reduced by as much as 50%.
