A doctor has warned that using a popular teeth cleaning product in your daily routine could be increasing the risk of a silent killer condition.Many people have a daily hygiene routine when they wake up in the morning which should include brushing your teeth.
Some take it further and floss every morning as well as swishing some mouthwash around - but this may be a bad idea. Research has revealed that approximately 25 per cent of adults rinse with mouthwash each day, reports the Mirror.
However, Dr Sermed Mezher has warned that this item could get rid of "good" bacteria in the mouth and increase the risk of high blood pressure.High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, has been defined by the NHS as having sustained blood pressure of 140/90mmHg or above.
This 'silent killer' condition can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases including strokes, coronary heart disease and heart attacks.Dr Mezher took to TikTok to alert his followers to this unusual problem.
