(Source: Thinkstock)Most of us are in the habit of using mouthwash at least once or twice daily, as a part of oral hygiene. People who use mouthwash at least twice daily are at approximately 55 per cent higher risk of developing diabetes, when compared to less frequent users, found a new study. The finding showed that mouthwash use lower than twice daily showed no association, suggesting a threshold effect at twice or more daily.
