Kashif Khan explains why dentists may catch health problems doctors miss. Your mouth contains over 700 microbial species and 100 million microorganisms per millimeter of saliva. Regular mouthwash use is linked to higher hypertension risk, and dentists see patients far more often than primary-care doctors do.

Your mouth hosts over 700 distinct microbial species. In a single millimeter of saliva, there are approximately 100 million microorganisms. Frequent over-the-counter mouthwash use was independently associated with increased risk of hypertension. The clinician who has the best access to the system sees you every 6 months and spends 45 minutes with you, more time than most people get with their primary care doctor in an entire year.
