However I would think that less sugar in your mouth is better.As far as mouth wash goes there has been a recent study that suggested that more than once a day was not good as it tended to destroy bacteria that are used in digestion. Sorry but I've lost the link to that article.Salivary glucose does indeed have adverse effects on oral tissue - I was discussing this with my dentist last week as my gums have been receeding since I developed T2D. I think there is also a peripheral blood supply issue involved.For what it's worth, I discovered last week - 'Listerene Advanced Defence' mouth wash, and this is claimed to 'Treat and Prevent Gingivitis.' Can't comment on how well it works as I've only been using it for a week!</blockquote>
