The “fashion item”: mouthwash!
Cleaning your mouth is like washing your hands, you may need it anytime, anywhere! But you must have the same deep “trouble” as I have, toothbrush toothpaste and can not carry ah! What to do?
This time mouthwash will come in handy. You can’t even dare to talk after eating garlic when you eat out. At this time, if you have a small bottle of mouthwash, you only need to go to the bathroom, back immediately and fresh breath. Because of these incomparable advantages of mouthwash, now more and more become a “fashion item”! But here to remind everyone, mouthwash can not be used indiscriminately and can not be used for a long time, the wrong way to use the oral health cause more harm.
”A variety of” mouthwash is actually only 2 types!
Simply put, both for treatment and health care, generally seen in the supermarket is the health care mouthwash
1, health care mouthwash
Health care mouthwash is a common type of mouthwash in our daily lives, the main ingredients for oral fresheners. It helps us to “kill” the oral food residue and part of the soft scale, to temporarily reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth.
2, therapeutic mouthwash
Therapeutic mouthwash is used to assist in the treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis, oral ulcers and other oral diseases, this type of mouthwash by the professional doctor’s own blend or professional manufacturers, for outpatients to use. To give a simple example: mouthwash containing numbing ingredients can reduce the pain of oral ulcer patients when eating; iodophor type mouthwash for oral surgery patients after the effect of anti-inflammatory sterilization.
With mouthwash, and toothbrush can say “goodbye”?
The benefits of mouthwash I have listed above! But with the mouthwash partners of the teeth is invincible?
Compared with brushing, mouthwash can not completely remove plaque on teeth and some small crevices in the residual food, can not fully play the efficacy of treatment of periodontal disease and prevention of dental caries.
One of the main purposes of brushing is to remove the plaque attached to the surface of teeth. The most crucial part of this process is the physical friction of the toothbrush. Mouthwash, on the other hand, is unable to perform this friction and therefore has limited effect. Guys, mouthwash can never replace brushing your teeth.
Be a wise consumer and choose your mouthwash correctly!
Generally healthy people do not need to use mouthwash, as long as the morning and evening brushing, with the use of dental floss cleaning is sufficient.
Therapeutic mouthwash in particular should be used with caution. Medicated mouthwash has an auxiliary therapeutic effect, but can not be used as a daily oral care medicine for a long time, when the oral disease healed, should stop using.
Health care mouthwash should be mild, rather than having a strong irritation. Remember, guys: high irritation and sterilization do not correlate! The alcohol content in the mouthwash is one of the sources of irritation, if too much alcohol is added for the high irritation, it will harm the oral mucosa if it is contained in the mouth for a long time.
In addition, the pH value is too low (acidic) mouthwash will also leave the mouth in an acidic environment for a long time, in fact, the acidification of the mouth leads to decalcification of teeth, which is one of the causes of tooth decay.
Mouthwash use tips!
1, the sterilization of mouthwash, deodorant, refreshing effect is temporary, can only be used as oral care aids, can not replace the regular brushing. Severe oral odor must seek medical attention.
2, mouthwash can not be swallowed, will produce adverse stimulation or poisoning.
3, strictly distinguish between therapeutic and health care mouthwash. Health care mouthwash has no role in the treatment of oral diseases. In the drugstore to buy or marked with “under the guidance of a doctor to use” the words mouthwash, not in daily use, consult a doctor before use.
