Mouthwash and its Uses

Mouthwash and its Uses

by dentalmadeeasy / Wednesday, 19 May 2021 / Published in Blog Updates

Oral rinse, more commonly known as mouthwash is used to rinse your mouth, teeth, and gums. It aids in killing bacteria that lives on your tongue and in between the teeth because of its antiseptic properties. Other uses for mouthwash is to prevent tooth decay and combat bad breath. Oral rinse is only effective with proper usage and other important steps in your oral health regimen. It is important to find a mouthwash that suits your needs to maximize the benefits you receive from using it. 

Benefits of Using Mouthwash

Mouthwash is a handy tool in fighting against various oral health conditions. It also helps in promoting healthy teeth and gums. Some benefits of using mouthwash are:

  • Block cavities from forming: When using regularly, oral rinse can reduce the chances of cavities developing. A mouthwash containing fluoride can strengthen the enamel and serve as a protective barrier. 
  • Washes away particles: Whether it is  before or after brushing, using mouthwash also aids rinsing the mouth of debris. This combination with flossing is a recipe for healthy, clean teeth and gums. 
  • Wards off plaque build up: The buildup of plaque can lead to a list of damaging effects on the teeth. Minimizing the presence of plaque your teeth has exposure to is best. Oral rinse cannot get rid of plaque in itself, but it helps in keeping it at bay. 
  • Refreshes your breath: One of the main reasons mouthwash is useful is to make breath smell extra fresh. Coming in a variety of flavors, there are different options and scents to use and kill bad breath causing bacteria. 

Mouthwash in Action

A major purpose for incorporating oral rinse into your daily oral care routine is to kill germs. In our oral cavity, there are microorganisms present that are not beneficial to us. This is why in mouthwashes there are ingredients like menthol, eucalyptol, and alcohol. These antiseptics have bacteria killing properties that have the abilities to go into the small gaps and hard to reach places in the mouth. This also contributes to why mouthwashes can sting and feel a bit abrasive. 

Precaution

While it has its advantages, oral rinses have to be used carefully and in moderation. Due to many having high levels of fluoride and alcohol in this liquid, it is advised to not ingest in high amounts. If you also have open sores in your mouth, mouthwash does have the capability to attack bacteria and assist in the healing process. However, if you routinely experience oral lesions, it is best to talk to a dental professional before using it. It is important to know what you are dealing with before exposing these sores to any antiseptic repeatedly. 

Oral rinse or mouthwash can be a great addition to a consistent brushing and flossing schedule. Using it properly can keep away cavities, gum disease, and other oral health conditions from harming our teeth. If you have any questions about mouthwash or oral care in general, please be sure to contact us today!
