every thing about Mouthwash

 Mouthwashes contain various substances such as detergents, organic acids, sodium fluoride, and alcohol.

Mouthwash is a liquid that is used to wash and keep the space inside the mouth clean. They also contain antiseptics that kill the bacteria that live in the mouth. Some people use mouthwash to get rid of bad breath. And others use it to prevent tooth decay or prevent the accumulation of plaque and sticky substances that contain bacteria and germs which can lead to oral diseases.

Is mouthwash a substitute for brushing?

No, mouthwash does not replace brushing or flossing. The only effective way to remove plaque and bacteria from the surface of the teeth and under the gums is by brushing and flossing correctly. Fluoride mouthwash does not help strengthen tooth enamel and fight gum disease unless you use it after brushing and flossing. Teeth should be thoroughly cleaned when exposed to this substance.

Benefits of mouthwash:

Mouthwash can reduce bad mouth odor. Fluoride mouthwash can prevent tooth decay, protect tooth enamel, and fight plaque.

 It reduces the possibility of gingivitis and its non-alcohol type can prevent dry mouth.

Complications

Don’t overuse mouthwashes.

Chlorhexidine mouthwash:

Due to the concentration of chlorhexidine in mouthwash solutions, it can temporarily affect the sense of taste. Another side effect of chlorhexidine is browning of teeth. Of course, this color effect is on external surfaces and can be stabilized. Chlorhexidine prevents the production of acid by oral bacteria and thus keeps the oral environment alkaline, which may lead to the formation of supragingival plaque.

Fluoride mouthwash:

Fluoride is very useful for strengthening tooth enamel and preventing caries. At the same time, it is considered a toxic substance, and the percentage of its use in health products is very important. But some people are allergic to this substance.

Loss of beneficial bacteria:

Mouthwash has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. So, in addition to harmful bacteria, it also destroys beneficial bacteria (defense barrier to fight pathogens). The wrong and frequent use of mouthwash will lead to a weak immune system.

Long-term use of oxygenated mouthwashes causes soft tissue irritation, loss of calcium on the tooth surface, and black spots on the tongue.

Summary:

Currently, the number of people who use mouthwashes as antimicrobial agents and reduce bad breath has increased. Using mouthwashes without a dentist's opinion can cause complications. It is better to get help from a dentist before using it.
