It depends on the mouthwash you are using. There are many over the counter alcohol based mouthwash’s that I feel can affect your health if used frequently in a negative fashion. Right off the bat if I mouthwash has alcohol in it this has been shown to be a carcinogen in many studies. Alcohol is a natural drying agent although they kill bacteria they also reduce the amount of saliva which promotes tooth decay and periodontal disease . Broad spectrum mouthwash that are actually recommended by dentists and periodontists like peridex uses chlorhexidine can reduce nitric oxide levels In our mouth’s and systemically and lead to an increase in your blood pressure.
