Dental Insurance Health Care, Reducing the Risk of Premature Birth.
According to a new study that was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, it found an association between the use of a non-alcohol antimicrobial mouth rinse in pregnant women and a decreased rate of delivering babies prematurely. While the study didn’t look to find the reason for the difference, lead author Marjorie Jeffcoat of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine told Reuters that one theory is that gum-disease-induced inflammation could trigger early birth.
