What is mouthwash?
Mouthwash, also known as oral rinse, is an oral hygiene product that has the function of killing microorganisms in the mouth and preventing dental caries, gingivitis, and bad breath caused by it. Mouthwash also helps to remove mucus and food residue from the mouth.
1. Classification of Mouthwash
Mouthwash water can be used for both health and therapeutic purposes.
The health mouthwash has a relatively good sensation and does not require special guidance. The user base is also unrestricted, as its main component is an oral freshener used to remove bad breath.
2. How to choose different types of mouthwashes
Fluoride containing mouthwash
Most fluoride containing mouthwashes contain 0.05% sodium fluoride, which can be used once a day to provide additional fluoride, protect teeth, and effectively prevent tooth decay.
Antiplaque Mouthwash
Chlorhexidine gluconate can effectively inhibit the growth of dental plaque, thereby alleviating or preventing the occurrence of dental or periodontal diseases. But long-term use can also make tooth stains easily accumulate on the surface of teeth, affecting taste and even causing mouth sores.
Anti sensitive mouthwash
Its main chemical component, such as potassium nitrate, can reduce tooth sensitivity by sealing the fine channels of dentin, but it should not be used for a long time. So before choosing an anti sensitive mouthwash, you should first consult with a dentist and purchase it when needed.
Herbal Mouthwash
Herbal mouthwash is mainly extracted from plants and contains rich vitamins, which have bactericidal and anti caries effects. Its effective ingredients can penetrate between teeth, effectively inhibit bacteria, and protect oral hygiene.
Chinese herbal mouthwash
This type of mouthwash is refined from medicinal and edible Chinese herbal medicines, mainly composed of patchouli, Elsholtzia, cloves, etc. It does not contain broad-spectrum disinfection and sterilization chemicals such as alcohol and antibiotics, and has traditional Chinese medicine cultural characteristics.
