A member asked:
Hi doctors! is it ok to brush your teeth and/or use mouthwash before 1.....a colonoscopy and 2....before a fasting blood test? would the chemicals in the toothpaste would or would not affect either the colonoscopy or the fasting blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Brushing your teeth or using mouth wash will not affect colonoscopy or blood test results. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
