Daily oral hygiene is widely seen as a simple, non-negotiable part of staying healthy. A separate study found twice-daily users had more than double the risk of developing high blood pressure. “For routine oral hygiene, normal fluoride mouthwashes or betadine mouthwashes, which are clinically approved and proven safe for the good oral bacteria, can be used once or twice a day as required. Therefore, maintaining good oral health is essential and requires strong oral hygiene. If you face any dental issues, discuss them with your dentist before making any major changes to your oral hygiene routine,” concludes Dr Arora.
