In the field of oral care, mouthwash is gradually becoming an important auxiliary tool for people to clean their mouth daily. Mouthwash not only freshens your breath, but also helps remove food debris and reduce oral bacteria. But many people still have some misconceptions about mouthwash. 3TOP as a professional mouthwash factory, in this article for you to explain the correct use of mouthwash and selection skills.
The function and mistake of mouthwash
The main role of mouthwash is to help clean the mouth. It can penetrate into every corner of the mouth to remove food residues and help reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth. However, some consumers mistakenly believe that mouthwash can completely replace brushing, which is a common misconception. In fact, mouthwash does not remove plaque from the surface of teeth, so it does not prevent dental health problems overall. The right thing to do is to use mouthwash as a supplement to brushing, and use both in combination to achieve better oral cleaning results.
How to choose the right mouthwash
There are many kinds of mouthwash on the market, which are mainly divided into two categories: health care and medical. Health care mouthwash can usually be bought in the supermarket, with anti-sensitive, bacteriostatic sterilization, clean mouth, fresh breath and other functions. Medical mouthwash has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, and is generally used as an auxiliary treatment for periodontitis and other diseases. This kind of mouthwash needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
When choosing mouthwash, you should choose according to your oral health status and needs. Healthy people generally don’t need to use mouthwash specifically, just keep brushing and flossing in the morning and evening. For patients with oral mucosal disease or periodontal disease, it is necessary to use symptomatic therapeutic mouthwash under the advice of a doctor.
The proper way to use mouthwash
When it comes to mouthwash, it’s also important to use it the right way. The steps of using mouthwash include: gargle 5 times from the left cheek, paying attention to the end teeth; Then take the mouthwash to the right rear and gargle 5 times before reaching the right cheek side; Then take the mouthwash to the right front to the middle of the teeth and gargle 5 times, pay attention to the upper and lower teeth, lingual side and labial side; Finally, turn the mouthwash onto the tongue and rinse it back and forth with the tongue 5 times, paying attention to clean the tongue coating and the upper and lower jaws.
Health care mouthwash is generally recommended to gargle for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and medical mouthwash needs to pay attention to time according to different types. After using mouthwash, do not rinse with water again, and do not drink or eat for half an hour to maintain the effect of mouthwash in the mouth.
Notes
When using mouthwash, you should also pay attention to the following points:
Mouthwash should not be drunk, even if the taste is sweet, should also avoid drinking by mistake.
