The oral microbiome is the community of bacteria that live in the mouth. It helps us digest our food and keep our mouth healthy. Changes to the composition of the oral microbiome have been linked to periodontal diseases and some cancers.
New research is a follow-up to a larger study investigating the use of mouthwash. Researchers wanted to explore further and investigate whether the mouthwash used had an impact on the oral microbiome of the patients.
Researchers found that two species of opportunistic bacteria were significantly more abundant in the mouth after three months of daily use of the alcohol-based mouthwash, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Streptococcus anginosus. These two bacteria have been previously linked to gum disease, esophageal and colorectal cancers. Researchers also saw a decrease in a group of bacteria called Actinobacteria, which are crucial contributors to the regulation of blood pressure.
Dr. Jolein Laumen, said, "Alcohol-based mouthwashes are widely available. The public may use them daily to tackle bad breath or prevent periodontitis, but they should be aware of the potential implications. Ideally, long-term usage should be guided by health care professionals."

Try forgoing antibacterial mouthwash for a few weeks and see if you notice your blood pressure going lower.
Absolutely true!!!
Good post. Blood pressure aspect isn’t obvious at first glance.
Alcohol killing bacteria is.
My dentist recommended that I not use mouthwashes containing alcohol.
To be fair, it isn’t the alcohol killing the bacteria, it is the other antibacterial agents doing it.
The alcohol in these mouthwashes is not enough to kill germs. It’s really only there to make you think it’s doing something.
The mouthwash in this study was Listerine, which has other germ killing substances.
That was probably due to alcohol encouraging dry mouth.
It isn’t helpful for anything in a mouthwash, strangely. It can’t even kill germs. It’s nowhere near strong enough.
Over-the-counter mouthwash use, nitric oxide and hypertension risk
If I want to use mouthwash, I use half hydrogen peroxide, half water, then rinse with plain water.
The studies quote 2mm increase in systolic and 0mm
0 diastolic.
That is barely measurable

Wuss.

The home BP meter my cardiologist gave me won't repeat within 10mmHg most of the time.
>> perhaps it is not the alcohol, but instead the [REDACTED]
Ewwww. I think I see the problem here! So, don’t engage in the [REDACTED] [REDACTED] with [REDACTED] !!!

Omicron Limited is the parent company owner of ScienceX. These people are from India masquerading as British subjects. They are anti-capitalist. Of course they are going to target American capitalism and its products and show them in the worst possible light. It's more of the left taking down the West.
Read the article, as the excerpt is sketchy.
I do that too, but it's not recommended for daily use; perhaps once a week.
The hydrogen peroxide will damage the enamel on the teeth if used too frequently.

Stainless steel gum is still okay, right?
By next year there will be cicada-based mouthwash, I'm sure.
Listerine used to make a mouthwash called Strong Teeth. Tasted great.
They discontinued it late last year.
