MOUTHWASH
There are many different types of mouthwash, but some are prescription only and others are
considered home remedies because the ingredients to make them are available at your local
drugstore or supermarket.
Mouthwash recipe:
The only rinse prescription your dentist will give you is chlorhexidine more known by the brand
name Guest Posting Pride. You cannot get it yourself at the pharmacy, but you can ask for a
prescription from a medical professional.
How to use chlorhexidine rinse:
Pour 15 ml into a glass beaker.
Rinse with the solution for two minutes.
Spit out and do not eat for an hour.
You can repeat it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.
Do not use for more than two weeks, because prolonged use can cause your teeth to
become brown. Prescription mouthwashes, and chlorhexidine, work wonders in fighting gum
`infections and toothaches caused by gum conditions, but the downside is that it dyes and also
must be a prescription. If you can't go to the dentist, your only option is to use mouthwash as a
home remedy.
Mouthwash at home:
Rinse off the salt water. This is the most available home remedy as everyone has salt and water at
home. It is best used for swollen gums because it helps reduce bleeding. This is even more helpful
when used the day after tooth extraction, as it helps control swelling and flush food debris out of
the socket.
Coconut oil.
Many people prefer to use chlorhexidine instead of coconut oil, Listerine, or prescription
antibiotic rinses. We have seen great results with this, but the only downside is that you have to
wash for about fifteen to twenty minutes each session. Some people can be turned off by the fact
that you have to swish it in your mouth for a long time. Plus, at least your mouth feels clean. This
mouthwash is intended to neutralize the pH of your mouth.
Oil of oregano.
In case you didn't know, oregano has high antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This
fact makes the extracted oil effective against toothache. How do you use it? You can put the
concentration on a Q-tip and rub it around the painful tooth, or mix it with some water and use
it as a mouthwash. It will work anyway!
Listerine.
This is the classic mouthpiece that everyone knows. It kills over 99% of germs and does a great
job of fighting plaque and bad breath. There's a recent trend away from alcohol-based
mouthwashes, but you're in luck because Listerine makes an alcohol-free version that we
recommend. You can also buy this at your local supermarket or pharmacy. All you have to do is
rinse thirty seconds faster than with the coconut oil-pulling method.
