How’s your breath? Do you use mouthwash? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Mouthwash is a great way to prevent bad breath and improve dental hygiene. In fact, many dentists recommend the use of mouthwash daily. But, did you know it may increase blood pressure. New research published in the journal: Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, shows that antiseptic mouthwash kills good oral bacteria that are responsible for converting dietary nitrate into nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide aids in regulating blood pressure and without it, blood pressure begins to increase. Don’t throw away the mouthwash just yet. The study was relatively small and more research needs to be completed.
