The correct use of the mouthwash

More and more people use mouthwash, is to maintain fresh breath, dental protection. But I am afraid you can not think of is to use mouthwash is not good, but it will cause the opposite effect - bad breath and tooth damage.

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported recently, Newcastle University Dental Professor Seymour said that many water mouthwash contain alcohol, some content up to 25%. This is mainly to make mouth water, menthol, eucalyptol and other ingredients play a role, and to infiltrate and Dental Artcles break down plaque, but at the same time, alcohol can lead to dry mouth, keep your mouth moist destroy the protective layer of mucus, resulting tone is not good, and cause irritation. Some mouthwashes also cause yellowing teeth.

In addition, the Australian Dental Journal 2009 published study showed that mouthwash in the water alcohol nicotine and other carcinogens will more easily penetrate the mouth of the protective layer, the increased risk of cancer.

Seymore professor suggested using mouthwash to listen to what the doctor's recommendations, such as your doctor may recommend use of fluoride in patients with gingivitis mouthwash. If no dental problems, you can use non-alcoholic mouthwash. Also to be noted that the removal of plaque mouthwash composition containing water, in 10 days you can play a role in long-term use is not recommended.
