Oral Care That Understand Your Heart
We love to have that
minty fresh feeling, but what if your rinse is doing more than just killing bad breath?
Studies show that some chemical formulations present in mouthwashes can kill good bacteria from the oral cavity.
These tiny organisms are responsible for creating Nitrous Oxide.
A NATURAL MOLECULE OUR BODY USES TO KEEP THE BLOOD VESSELS RELAXED AND BLOOD PRESSURE IN CHECK. Wiping out these good bacteria can cause Blood Pressure to shoot up. It's time to start thinking beyond the teeth.
Mouthwash formulations vary widely, containing different ingredients to promote oral health.
Common active components include antimicrobial agents like chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride, and essential oils such as eucalyptol, thymol, and menthol.
These agents reduce oral bacteria and control plaque, helping manage gingivitis and maintain fresh breath. Chlorhexidine, is noted for its potent antibacterial properties, used widely in treatment of gum diseases.
Antimicrobial agents can disrupt the delicate balance of the oral microbiome.Inhibition of bacterial conversion of dietary nitrates to nitrites can cause reduced production of nitric oxide , which may lead to blood vessels constricting and, consequently, an increase in blood pressure.
As per Dr. Sunanda Gogia an experienced Dentist in Sector 76 Noida, Brushing teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily are fundamental practices that remove plaque and food particles without disrupting the beneficial oral microbiome.
These mechanical methods are effective in preventing cavities and gum disease.
Individuals who are on Blood Pressure medications should be careful about mouthwashes choices or consult their health professional or dentist for better recommendations like fluoride and alcohol free mouthwashes.Book your dental appointment with Dr. Sunanda Gogia at Happy Tooth Dental Clinic, Sector 76, Noida.
