Is Mouth Wash Safe for Your dental health?


Posted on 4/11/2022 by Thomas Mahar
Is Mouth Wash Safe for Your dental health?Your dental health should be the priority when you are watching any other kind of health. Oral health has a connection to other health issues in the mouth. Keeping the mouth fresh and free of bacteria can help prevent so many health problems. The mouth should be kept away from bad bacteria that cause tooth decay, dental cavities, and even tooth loss at some time. Our dental team will teach you on importance of mouthwash and its benefits.

Prevention of gingivitis


Gingivitis is a milder type of gum disease caused by a buildup of bacteria in the mouth. Plaque accumulates between teeth, allowing germs to penetrate and cause tooth decay. Gingivitis must be treated with antimicrobial mouthwash before it advances to periodontal gum disease. Periodontal disease causes harm to the gums, causing them to degenerate and eventually result in the loss of a tooth or teeth.

Keeps away bad breath


If you have gum disease, such as periodontal gum disease, you may have bad breath. Gum disease develops when plaque accumulates on the teeth. Toxins from the bacteria irritate the gums, and if left untreated, they can cause gum and jawbone damage. Maintaining frequent dental checkups will assist the dentist in spotting any type of oral disease that may arise. This will aid in the prevention of gum disease and the avoidance of foul breath. The use of mouth wash will keep the bad breath away and will also limit the growth of the bad bacteria that causes infection and bad breath. Our dentist will teach on what kind of mouthwash is good for your teeth.
