Balm for rinsing the mouth. Appearance and release form

  • Date: 18.04.2019

Dental rinsing is prescribed by a dentist, explains Julia Cloud, the head of the expert journal of dentistry Startsmile. They contain medicinal substances and are designed to deal with a specific problem, such as bleeding gums or increased plaque formation.

Without consulting a doctor, we do not recommend buying such a remedy - instead of the expected benefits, you may simply not get any effect. In the worst case, worsen the condition of the gums or teeth.

There are still all sorts of whitening conditioners. However, do not expect that after their use the teeth will become whiter by 3-4 tones. The effect of professional whitening with rinse is not achieved, but due to the oxygen and hydroxyapatites it contains, some enamel clarification can be achieved. Plus the tool will contribute to its strengthening and remineralization. Just remember: if you have an individual intolerance to hydroxyapatite, such rinses are contraindicated to you.

Medical rinses: types and benefits

It is a lot of rinses with medical action because the scope at them is quite narrow. There are no universal products for solving all oral problems at once.

The first type of rinse  - those that are designed to combat the increased formation of tartar. The latter is hardened plaque, which is formed both on the surface of the tooth and at its root. Of course, only a dentist can cope with the subgingival stone, but a rinse can fight against the supragingival, in addition to a toothbrush and paste. To do this, it must contain substances that destroy microorganisms and prevent the occurrence of tartar: calcium citrate, alcohol, chlorhexidine, which improves the blood supply to the gums, and neovitin, which reduces inflammation and pain.

Second type of rinse  helps to prevent caries, strengthen enamel and increase the mineralization of teeth. Such a rinse must be kept in the mouth for at least two and a half minutes in order to assimilate all the useful substances. Calcium and fluorine are necessarily present in the composition. This product is recommended by orthodontists to those who wear braces: due to difficulties with hygiene during orthodontic treatment, the risk of caries is increasing.

The third type of rinse helps patients with bleeding gums and a tendency to the formation of caries. Such products contain cetylpyridinium chloride, listerine and triclosan - all of these substances destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation. And Listerine and Triclosan are also effective against plaque and tartar.

Can medical rinses damage?

Each of the above substances in the composition of rinses has a side effect.

  • Alcohol, for example, can cause irritation of the mucous membranes and dry mouth.
  • Chlorhexidine is not recommended to be used too often, because it can cause black or brown spots on the teeth, as well as dry mucous membranes and burning. Moreover, with prolonged use, chlorhexidine causes a backlash - an increase in plaque and tartar.
  • Neovitin and cetylpyridinium chloride should not be used during pregnancy and feeding.
  • Calcium citrate can cause allergies such as rash or itching, and stomach trouble (pain, nausea, flatulence, diarrhea, or constipation).
  • Triclosan kills not only harmful, but also beneficial bacteria, and with frequent use, some of the pathogenic bacteria become resistant to its action.
  • With an excess of fluorine fluorosis develops - red or brown spots appear on the enamel, it becomes brittle, and dental tissue defects gradually appear.
  • An excess of calcium causes nausea, vomiting and constant thirst.

Of course, in rinses the content of all these substances is not so high as to necessarily provoke such side effects, but at the first signs of allergy it is worth stopping rinsing and contact your dentist.

So apply or not?

Rinses are not capable of causing serious harm to health if they are not swallowed. But it is advisable to use them only after a thorough brushing of the teeth with a brush and toothpaste - only they can remove the film of plaque through which the nutrients in the rinse aid cannot make their way.

And it is better to choose the means from one product line: they complement each other, namely, comprehensive care will allow you to quickly overcome the problems you are struggling with.

Dear visitors, welcome to our website. If you have visited this page, it means that you are interested in the topic of our today's review - mouthwash. The choice of this means of hygiene of teeth and gums is much more difficult than it might seem at first glance. The reason is the lack of knowledge of the composition, effectiveness and safety of each product on the market. Many of them are specialized means for protection against caries, periodontitis, etc.

For daily use

Mouthwash is not an easy choice. Especially given the fact that many people have individual intolerance to individual components, and manufacturers are in no hurry to point them on the label. Especially slyly they hide them, calling a few modified versions of the branded name. We all came across more than once formulations in the spirit of the "super-efficient new formula" of something. Under the beautiful name is usually hiding a long-known compound, which with the help of simple reactions somewhat modified and renamed. Voila! We get a new product with the old composition.

Such situations are far from the worst. Often, specialized medical supplements and powerful antiseptics are in vials with rinse, which the manufacturer recommends for daily use. Many buyers are looking for a suitable mouthwash for every day. But not every product on the market and advertised in the media is suitable for these purposes.

In retail chains one can often find funds produced by ROX, Oral B, Colgate and other manufacturers from the CIS, USA, EU. The question “Which is better?” Is not quite appropriate here. They are all different.

In pharmacies, you can find "Dental Elixir." There are several types:

  • composition 1 - extracts of mint, St. John's wort and nettle;
  • composition 2 - sage, mint, nettle;
  • composition 3 - calendula, mint, nettle.

It is not advertised on TV, but it quite successfully helps from inflammatory processes in the mouth, prevents the reproduction of bacteria. Next, we will tell you about other products - known and not so. All of them have several advantages.

Refreshing breath

- a common phenomenon. He even has a scientific name - halitosis. To fight it, brushing your teeth does not always help. Therefore, you need to have on hand an effective mouthwash for long-lasting odor. Just refreshing your breath is not that difficult. To do this, there are sprays with menthol, candy, chewing gum. And the pasta itself does its job. But to achieve a lasting effect is much more difficult.

It is necessary to understand the biochemistry of the process of formation of odors. For example, the smell of garlic in the mouth can not be beat off. Because the substances that create it, get into the blood, in the respiratory tract, etc. But the usual odors associated with the activity of bacteria. Within a few hours after brushing their teeth in the mouth, millions. What to do? To create a protective barrier on the teeth, which does not allow to consolidate on the enamel. Drink more water, eat less sweet, use special rinses.

Mouthwash “Strong teeth, healthy gums”, in addition to the main protective functions, perfectly refreshes the oral cavity. The taste is mint, slightly sweet. Smell - mint and licorice. There is no “chemistry” to taste.

A rinse with a CB-12 zinc content showed itself well. But he has one drawback - the high price. In addition, there are two powerful antiseptics in it at once - triclosan and chlorhexidine. Also contains alcohol and fluoride. Therefore, it is not necessary to use it constantly, and this option is not suitable for a child.

To protect and restore enamel

If you have demineralized teeth, you will need a special composition that strengthens the enamel. Fortunately, such rinsers are available on the market in a large assortment.

  1. One of these conditioners is Biorepair Professional Recovery and Protection (Biorepair Plus Professional Collutorio).
  2. Also good performance indicators are in the L’Angelica Collutorio.
  3. Splat Biocalcium is an excellent rinse aid to restore enamel.
  4. ApaCare “Liquid Enamel” mouthwash - a rarer guest on the shelves, but also interesting in its own way.

Mouthwash ApaCare Liquid Enamel

Whitening

If you need a whitening rinse option, then there is an inexpensive and high-quality option on the market. This is the Rocks black edition. There are many advantages:

  • profitable price;
  • adequate composition without a heap of harmful compounds;
  • great for holders of braces.

On the bottle it is written that there is no alcohol, fluorine and dyes in the composition. The cap performs the function of the dispenser. In a standard bottle of 400 ml. Contains 1% peroxide.

Splat “Whitening Plus” showed itself well. Well helps in the fight against plaque, freshens breath, also does not contain fluorine (traditionally for this manufacturer). Contains biosol, zinc ions, Luctatol's proprietary component that protects against "carious monsters."

The third on our list is the Listerin Expert Expert Whitening. The manufacturer promises effect after two weeks of use. As part of natural essential oils, fluorides. Rinser provides remineralization of tooth enamel, effectively eliminates plaque, provides protection for several hours. At the same time, normal flora is maintained.

Crest 3D White “Diamant” and “Multi Protection” are American products that have proven themselves well. Crest produce a variety of products for the care of the oral cavity. The manufacturer is the well-known concern Procter & Gamble.

Antiseptics in rinse

Most often on the market come across funds with, triclosan and their analogues. Also there are such options as cetylpyridinium chloride, methyl salicylate, etc. They are certainly effective, but they are completely unsuitable for daily use. The fact is that their composition destroys not only harmful flora, but also bacteria in general. Including neutral. As a result, dysbacteriosis starts in the mouth, dryness appears. As they say, a holy place is never empty. The first is occupied by pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, such rinses are used symptomatically in the treatment of periodontal diseases. For the prevention of such diseases it is better to use herbal remedies. They can be used daily.

The most famous variant with chlorhexidine is produced under the brand Lacalut Aktiv. It contains:

  • sodium fluoride;
  • chlorhexidine (0.25% solution);
  • aluminum lactate.

One more analog is produced by TM Paradontax. In addition to fluorine and chlohexidine, it contains eugenol. If you are allergic to this substance and its compounds, it is better to refrain from using such a rinse. But as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent for the gums, it is very good. If there is no allergy, and the symptoms of gingivitis spoil life, you can use this composition.

Asept has similar properties. This is a Russian product, which includes benzydamine, chlorhexidine and xylitol. It also cannot be used as a daily mouthwash, as it will cause dryness and the other problems described above. But this is a powerful weapon in the fight against exacerbations of periodontal diseases. In complex therapy Asepta can help you. Course duration no more than two weeks.

Another interesting product with an antiseptic, but without chlorhexidine is Colgea. t Plaks "Integrated Protection". In general, Plax is very popular in the CIS. It is relatively inexpensive, effective, with a pleasant smell. Well complements preventive cleaning. There are three key components:

  • potassium citrate (helps fight hypersensitivity with thin enamel);
  • sodium fluoride (to protect enamel from pathogenic bacteria that destroy it);
  • cetylpyridinium chloride - antiseptic.

If there are wounds in the mouth, ulcerative stomatitis, it is not possible to use Plaks mouth rinse. It will slow down the process of eliminating erosions on the mucous.

Another popular product is the Glister. It is produced by the famous American corporation Amway. Those same network marketing specialists who have long ceased to sell anything and do it with the hands of ordinary people. But you should pay tribute to the product itself. It is effective. Another issue is that the Emveans themselves position it as “herbal” and “without chemistry”. Here is the main lie. The composition has cetylpyridinium chloride, as in Colgate. This is an antiseptic, which is known to everyone who has ever bought a medicine called "Septolet". Therefore, it is not often possible to use such a composition. Or course up to two weeks, like all analogues. Otherwise, you will get allergies, dry mouth and dysbiosis. It is not because the Blister is bad. Just biology has not been canceled.

The next option, and relatively cheap - PRESIDENT "Profi". The package says that it contains chlorhexidine and xylitol, plus extracts of chamomile, sage and lemon balm. No alcohol, fluorine, too. Allowed to use the course of up to three weeks. Including children from 6 years.

Rinse with herbal extracts

If you need a mouth rinse for herbs, there are several options. The choice depends, first of all, on what budget is allocated for the purchase. For example, as an economy solution, you can offer products manufactured under the brand name Forest Balsam. Despite the low price, the products of this brand are pleased with a very decent quality. Produced by concern "Kalina".

Also, you can often see an advertizing rinse "Witch Doctor" from the brand Shante Beauty. The category we need is “The healer. Healing herbs". It also contains silver ions, which provide an additional antiseptic effect. Excellent breath freshening, helps from plaque, does not harm the normal flora in the mouth.

Mouthwash - with or without fluoride?

Disputes about whether it is useful or harmful have been going on for decades. On the one hand, this substance is dangerous, on the other - helps protect the enamel from germs. But fluoride does not strengthen it. This is a myth and a common mistake.

To strengthen the need for calcium compounds, and active, capable of producing remineralization of the surface layers of tooth enamel.

As for fluorides, their use helps to create a protective barrier against streptococci, staphylococci and other microorganisms dangerous for teeth. Since Soviet times, many people remember the production of Fluoride. It had its pros and cons, but in general, people liked it, because it performed its functions. Now these funds are also represented in the markets of the CIS countries and maintain their positions.

If you need the option without fluorine, you should pay attention to the products manufactured by TM Splat. Who might be interested in such options? For example, residents of regions in which the fluorine content in water is higher than the national average.

Splat Komplit is made on the basis of biosol, polydone and nettle extract. It is made without alcohol. Fluorine, chemical antibiotics and antiseptics that cause dysbiosis, it also does not. Therefore, it is an exclusively prophylactic agent with a weak antiseptic effect.

To reduce sensitivity

If your teeth react painfully to hot and cold, it is worthwhile to include special procedures in the oral hygiene procedure that help to effectively deal with this problem. One such compound is called Elmex Sensitive Plus from Colgate-Palmolive. It goes well with pastes of a similar type of action. For example, with Lacalut Sensitiv and its counterparts. Paste should be selected individually, including based on the abrasivity index. Elmex contains sodium, potassium and fluorine compounds. The rinse is good because after its application a protective film remains on the teeth for a while.

By the way, about Lacalut. They have their own rinse LACALUT "Sensitive". Attention! The composition has chlorhexidine. Therefore, do not use it for daily use.

Rinser do it yourself

There are quite a few people who do not trust the store. For them, we have a few practical tips. You can make an excellent rinse without harmful chemicals. To do this, you will need filtered water and essential oils. Mint is used for a refreshing effect, and tea tree oil is used to protect against germs. A glass of warm water will take about 3-4 drops of each oil. Such a homemade product can be made at times. It is economical, does not require any storage conditions or costs. It is suitable for a child.

You can rinse and propolis, including those tinctures that are sold in a pharmacy. But note that alcohol will dry your mouth. Because for daily use it is not worth using.

How useful is the rinse?

Harm depends on the composition. This concerns the amount of fluorine, the percentage of chlorhexidine, etc. Sometimes, to remove the likelihood of side effects, the manufacturer reduces the concentration of active substances. The result is a soother with a pleasant smell and taste.

Rinses, which include alcohol, can not be used often. Like other antiseptics, it dries the mouth. As a result, you may have problems with the mucous membrane.

In the US, there is the ADA, an internationally respected dental association, which can really approve or disapprove of another toothpaste or mouth rinse. But very few products received this very “yes” from outstanding experts. Neither Colgate nor Aqua Fresh nor Oral Bee have it. They are allowed for sale, recognized as safe, but what is said in the ad is a publicity stunt. Are there any rinses that have “yes”? Yes, but very few of them. For example, these are the products of Natural Dentist and Tom’s of Maine. Have you heard of these? That's the same thing. Even many dentists in the CIS do not know about them.

There are also natural products that have not received approval, but are included in the list of really high-quality and safe:

  • Herbal Choice;
  • Jason Natural Cosmetics;
  • Eco-Dent;
  • Herbal Serenity and others.

Did you read the unfamiliar names again? In Europe and the United States, they are quite popular. But in our country and other post-Soviet states such goods are very rare.

How to use rinses?

In most cases, the manufacturer writes on the packaging, how to use his product. Typically, these tools have a measuring cap into which you pour the required amount of liquid from the vial. It is difficult to make a mistake - more than necessary, do not pour. It is not necessary to dilute in water. On some bottles there is a dispenser or they are made in the form of a spray, like a Glister.

Use in pregnant women

Not all substances are allowed for use. Before using any product, it is recommended to consult your doctor. Perhaps there are certain contraindications for you or an unborn child.

To use additional means for hygiene of the oral cavity, of course, necessary. Because during this period gingivitis and caries very often develop. To treat teeth during pregnancy is difficult. Indeed, many substances that are traditionally used in therapy / anesthesia are dangerous for the fetus or can cause allergic reactions and other unpleasant symptoms.

Purchase, prices

Most of the listed conditioners are commercially available. They are sold through pharmacy chains, household chemicals and personal care stores, supermarkets, etc. The cost of a mouthwash bottle in Russia can vary from 100–200 rubles to several thousand. It depends on what is included in the composition, who is the manufacturer, etc. There are funds that cannot be found on the open market. These are various specialized formulations sold in any phyto-pharmacies or stores for dentists. Glister is sold through individual entrepreneurs, like other Amway products. There are those rinses that are really ordered, except with delivery from another country. Whether it is worth it in terms of money for shipping is up to each of you.

In the stores and pharmacies of Ukraine the cheapest means are the products of TM "Forest Balsam". They cost about 30 hryvnia (about 1 euro) per bottle. Colgate products are somewhat more expensive. For a bottle of the same volume you will take 50-65 hryvnia. For a European, the amount is ridiculous. But many Ukrainians believe that it is expensive. Glister we found for 188 hryvnia. And this, believe me, is not the limit.

Mouthwash - summing up

Of course, for the oral cavity - a piece useful and useful in the economy. Now you know how important it is to read the compositions, in the course, how much the bottle costs, how to use it, etc. By the way, the compositions can always be read on the Internet, and then, choosing the right one, buy it where they offer an adequate price. It’s nice to have two options at once - everyday and more powerful just in case. The first will provide regular protection, and the second will fight bacteria if there is inflammation on the gums.

If you often have gingivitis, a more powerful composition can be applied more or in short courses for 2 or 3 weeks. After such a course you need a break so that the flora in the mouth returns to normal.

This concludes the review. We hope the recommendations were helpful to you. We promise to continue in the same spirit and look forward to your comments!

How to choose the right mouthwash -

  • If you take a conditioner for the prevention of caries -
      It is desirable to use aminofluoride-based agents (also called the term “Olaflur”) or sodium fluoride. But keep in mind that products with aminofluoride will be the most effective, because aminofluoride remains on the teeth even after rinsing (in the form of a film), from which fluorine will continue to penetrate into the tooth enamel for another 1-2 hours.

    Also pay attention to the concentration of fluoride in the solution. It should be around 250 ppm. In addition, try not to buy rinses containing antiseptics, otherwise these tools can not be used for more than 2-3 weeks.

  • Scheme of use -
      Use rinse 2-3 times a day, immediately after brushing your teeth. Rinse your mouth for about 1 minute. If you are using a rinse containing fluoride, then it is best to use a calcium-based toothpaste that does not contain fluoride before. In this case, the strengthening of the teeth and the anti-caries effect will be maximal.
  • If the rinse contains antiseptics -
      for example, chlorhexidine, triclosan, methyl salicylate, benzydamine, cetylpyridinium chloride and others, the course of use of such a tool can not exceed 2-3 weeks rinse aid.

    It is better to use rinses with antiseptics only as part of complex therapy for gingivitis and periodontitis (inflammation of the gums) in parallel with other drugs, and only after the removal of dental deposits on the teeth at the dentist. But if the rinse contains only herbal ingredients (extracts and decoctions of herbs), then such rinses are suitable for the prevention of exacerbations of chronic inflammation of the gums, and they can be used on an ongoing basis without interruptions.

  • Alcohol content -
      if you drive a car or take a rinse for a child older than 6 years, then pay attention to the alcohol content. Most rinses contain alcohol as a solvent.

The best conditioners for the prevention of caries -

Comments: Rinse Elmeks "Protection against dental caries" in our opinion - this is the best conditioner to date, which is on the shelves of pharmacies and shops. It contains fluoride, including in the form of the most effective component - Aminofluoride, which during rinsing very quickly forms on the teeth a film containing fluorine, from which fluorine will continuously penetrate into the tooth enamel. According to all studies, aminofluoride is the most effective component for the prevention of dental caries.

In addition, Elmex is one of the few rinses that does not contain alcohol, as well as various antibiotics and antiseptics leading to oral dysbacteriosis and dry mucous membranes, i.e. It can be applied permanently for a long time. Can be used in children over 6 years old.

2. Rinse PRESIDENT "Classic Plus" -

Comments: Mouthwash The President is a quality rinse based on sodium fluoride and plant extracts that have excellent breath freshening action.
  Sodium fluoride has a good caries-preventive effect, which is achieved by strengthening the enamel of the teeth. Sodium fluoride is slightly inferior to Aminofluoride in efficiency, so we put this rinse in 2nd place.

Rinsing for inflammation of the gums -

Deciding to use rinsing to reduce inflammation in the gums, bleeding - remember that rinses and other means do not cure, but only mask the symptoms. Gum inflammation is caused by mild microbial plaque and hard over- and under-gingival dental deposits, which accumulate in the mouth as a result of inadequate oral hygiene.

Therefore, to cure inflammation, it is necessary to remove the causative factor, i.e. remove dental deposits from teeth, after which the dentist will prescribe a course of home anti-inflammatory therapy, which may also contain the following rinses. The use of rinse without removing dental plaque will lead to the fact that symptoms externally decrease, but the inflammation will go on unnoticed until you notice irreversible changes - the appeared mobility of the teeth.

Means that can be used in the complex treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis:

Comments: mouthwash Lakalut contains a high concentration of antiseptic Chlorhexidine, as well as astringent component from bleeding gums - aluminum lactate. Therefore, it can also be used in the complex therapy of gingivitis, but with a course of no more than 3 weeks. The content of sodium fluoride helps to strengthen the teeth. Very effective tool, we recommend!

Comments: Paradtax - quality conditioner, although in composition (in our opinion) it is slightly inferior to the previous product. It contains chlorhexidine antiseptics and eugenol, as well as sodium fluoride to strengthen the teeth. It is advisable to use a course of no more than 3 weeks.

Comments: Rinse President Profi contains the antiseptic chlorhexidine, as well as herbal extracts. The classic composition, effective in the treatment of gum disease. Due to the presence of an antiseptic - a course of no more than 3 weeks. Can children older than 6 years.

4. Rinse "Listerin gum protection" -

Comments: Listerine is a rinse that contains a very active nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent Methyl Salicylate. The fluorine content is only 100 ppm, so the anticariogenic effect will be less than that of previous drugs. It is advisable to use a course of no more than 2 weeks in the complex therapy of gingivitis and periodontitis.

Comments: Asepta is an oral rinse that contains very strong antiseptics such as benzydamine and chlorhexidine. In this regard, it is recommended to use Aseptu in the complex therapy of gingivitis and periodontitis. The course of application is not more than 2 weeks, otherwise dysbacteriosis of the oral cavity, dryness and burning of the mucous membrane may occur.

Because In addition to the antiseptic action, benzydamine also has an analgesic effect (therefore, after rinsing, the sensitivity of the mucous membrane can be disturbed and a feeling of numbness occurs) - this rinse can be successfully used for aphthous and erosive forms of stomatitis, because erosion and oral ulcers are very painful, and after surgical interventions in the oral cavity.

6. Rinse KOLGEYT Plaks "Complex protection" -

Comments: Colgate mouthwash contains components immediately from "all diseases": sodium fluoride strengthens the teeth and therefore protects against caries, potassium citrate reduces the sensitivity of teeth, and cetylpyridinium chloride is an antiseptic that is used in the treatment of gum disease.

Cetylpyridinium chloride is not recommended for use in the presence of open wounds or ulcerations in the oral cavity, stomatitis, since it slows down the healing of wounds. The course of application is not more than 2 weeks. With prolonged use, irritation and dryness of the mucous membrane, allergic reactions, and oral dysbacteriosis are possible.

Comments: Glister - mouthwash containing from the active ingredients only antiseptic "cetylpyridinium chloride" (the same component is found in resorption tablets "Septolet" used to treat the throat. The previous rinse also contains cetylpyridinium chloride (see above use) .

This rinse is desirable to use only in inflammatory diseases of the gums. The course is not more than 2 weeks. With prolonged use, irritation and dryness of the mucous membrane, allergic reactions, and oral dysbacteriosis are possible.

Means that can be used to prevent exacerbation of chronic inflammation of the gums:

Comments: Mexidol dent - mouth rinse, which contains the component Mexidol ®, which has an anti-inflammatory effect on the mucous membrane, as well as a complex of amino acids, which allows for a long time to moisturize and soften the mucous membrane, as well as to improve the local mucosal immunity, making it less susceptible to bacteria and viruses.

Comments: the manufacturer on its website does not publish a detailed composition, and tells only about natural ingredients, which is absolutely incorrect, because it includes organic solvents, perfumes, and a large number of other chemical compounds, and some rinses in this series even contain the antibacterial component triclosan.

It must be said that triclosan has a significantly greater effect (expressed in reducing bacterial growth, reducing gingival bleeding) than decoctions of anti-inflammatory herbs, which have a fairly moderate anti-inflammatory effect compared to antiseptics and antibacterial components. Triclosan is safe, but still it is undesirable to use it for too long, because This can lead to dysbiosis of oral microflora.

Forest Balsam has a good price / quality ratio. As a practicing periodontist, I can recommend using rinsers with triclosan - only with prior removal of dental plaque from a dentist. Rinses that contain active ingredients only from medicinal plants - as maintenance therapy between the main courses of anti-inflammatory therapy at the periodontist.

Comments: Mouthwash REMOVER SPLAT has a mild antiseptic effect (due to the content of plant components - nettle extract and biosol), as well as polydol ® - a component that contributes to the dissolution of the organic matrix of plaque.

This composition allows us to recommend this rinse only for the prevention of gum inflammation. For the treatment of inflammation of the gums or strengthening the enamel of the teeth, this rinse is not suitable. But its advantage is that it does not contain alcohol, as well as antibiotics and antiseptics, and therefore is suitable for long-term use.

Mouthwash for teeth hypersensitivity -

Comments: This Elmex rinse has the best composition of all rinses to reduce hypersensitivity. If you really want to quickly reduce the sensitivity of the teeth, then it is ideal to use it in combination with the Lacalut Extra Sensitive toothpaste.

In addition to highly effective components such as aminofluoride and potassium fluoride, the rinse contains a modern protective polymer (dimethyl-amino-ethyl methacrylate-polycarbamyl-polyglycol), which forms a unique protective film on the enamel surface. Aminofluoride, among other things, has a high anti-caries activity, because It significantly strengthens tooth enamel.

Comments: Rinser Lakalut Sensitive - good quality tool, but in composition it is somewhat inferior to the previous rinse. Its composition differs little from the Lacalut Active rinse, except that it includes the more effective fluorine component Aminofluoride (instead of sodium fluoride in Lakalut Active).

This rinse contains a strong antiseptic, Chlorhexidine, and a binder for bleeding gums - aluminum lactate. Therefore, it can also be used in the complex therapy of gingivitis, but with a course of no more than 3 weeks.

We hope that our article on the topic: Mouthwashes - turned out to be useful to you!

How to choose the right mouthwash?

Mouthwash is selected depending on the purpose of use. After surgery to remove teeth, the doctor may recommend antiseptic rinses, but it is not recommended to use them for more than two weeks, as this leads to oral dysbacteriosis. Mouthwashes for the prevention of caries should contain fluorides, which restore the mineral composition of enamel - aminofluoride or sodium fluoride at a concentration of 250 ppm.

Use this tool twice a day after you brush your teeth. It is not recommended to use fluorinated toothpastes, and give preference to products based on calcium.

The components that should be part of a good antiseptic are triclosan, benzydamine, methyl salicylate, chlorhexidine. Triclosan is often included in toothpaste for the prevention of caries - it inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria for 12 hours after the last tooth brushing. However, antiseptics are not suitable for daily use, as they violate the microflora of the oral cavity, because of which unpleasant smell from the mouth appears immediately after the withdrawal of the funds. Rinses with triclosan, chlorhexidine and other antiseptics are used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the gums, after dental operations to prevent infectious processes.

Herbal extracts rinses possess moderate bactericidal activity, preventing reproduction of pathogenic organisms of the oral cavity without the risk of dysbacteriosis, and therefore are ideal for daily use.

Extracts of lemon balm, chamomile and sage have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal action, eliminate bad breath and do not cause addiction.

It does not contain alcohol, so it is safe to use for children from the age of six.

Rinse for inflammation of the gums

Rinses in this group help to eliminate the negative symptoms of inflammatory processes in the gums, but they cannot be used as the only treatment; it is necessary to eliminate the original cause of the inflammation. Most often, inflammation of the gums is provoked by hard dental plaque and mild microbial plaque, which is not enough to rinse to remove. Therefore, rinsing can be used as an additional tool in the complex treatment, which is prescribed by a dentist.

In addition to home therapy, it is necessary to carry out the removal of tartar and other deposits at the dentist. Otherwise, the symptoms of inflammation will disappear, but the disease will become chronic and may lead to loss of teeth.

Preventive remedies for rinsing against periodontitis, gingivitis and other inflammatory diseases:

    Lacalut Aktiv. Rinser Lakalyut Aktiv contains a antiseptic chlorhexidine at a concentration of 0.25%, a binder component aluminum lactate and sodium fluoride, restoring the mineral composition of tooth enamel.

It contains chlorhexidine in the antiseptic component, which is why it cannot be used for more than three weeks.

    Listerine. Mouthwash from the Italian manufacturer, made on the basis of a plant extract of eucalyptus and thymol, obtained from thyme essential oil. The main active anti-inflammatory component is methyl salicylate. Contains sodium fluoride in a small concentration of 100 ppm, so the remineralizing effect of the use of the tool is less pronounced than the anti-inflammatory. It is applied in a two-week course for prophylaxis or as part of a complex treatment of gingivitis. Contains ethanol, therefore it is necessary to observe precautions in the use of children, drivers of vehicles or people with alcohol dependence.

    Asepta. The rinse from the Russian manufacturer with a powerful antiseptic and analgesic effect, is used to treat stomatitis, periodontitis and gingivitis, as well as to prevent infectious complications after the removal of teeth and other surgical procedures in the oral cavity. The antiseptic components benzydamine and chlorhexidine at a concentration of 0.15% and 0.05%, respectively, inhibit the pathogenic microflora and eliminate painful sensations during stomatitis of the erosive form.

    Thus, with its help you can solve several common problems of the teeth and gums. Rinse is an excellent tool for the prevention and treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis and other inflammations of the gums as part of a combination therapy prescribed by a doctor. It does not contain alcohol, so it is safe to use for drivers of vehicles. There are warnings about using it for more than two weeks - the constant use of rinse aid with antibiotics leads to halitosis and impairment of the oral microflora. Cetylpyridinium chloride based products cannot be used if there are open wounds that do not heal for a long time in the mouth - this slows down their healing and provokes complications.

    Glister Amway. Antiseptic mouthwash based on cetylpyridinium chloride, used in inflammatory diseases of the gums, to eliminate halitosis (unpleasant smell of the mouth, provoked by pathogenic microorganisms). Interferes with formation of a soft raid and dental deposits. It is used with caution, as it contains alcohol. It is necessary to take into account the rules for the use of cetylpyridinium chloride in the composition - they cannot be used in the presence of open wounds, ulcers and abrasions on the mucous membrane, since this component slows down tissue regeneration. Among the side effects are dryness, burning, allergic reactions and the appearance of stains on the enamel. Use no more than two weeks in the complex treatment of inflammation of the gums.

Prophylactic rinses against chronic inflammatory gum disease:

    Mexidol Dentprofessional. A conditioner that contains a powerful anti-inflammatory component — methylhydroxypyridine succinate and auxiliary substances — licorice root extract and amino acid complex.

A series of mouthwash for the oral cavity from a Russian manufacturer based on natural ingredients - extracts and oils of medicinal plants, including fir, sage, St. John's wort, nettle, chamomile, celandine, yarrow. Also in the composition of the means for rinsing there are such natural ingredients as propolis, oak bark, oil of pine nuts and components of artificial origin - sodium fluoride, triclosan.

    Despite the fact that all 12 options for rinsing products are positioned by the manufacturer as natural products for daily use, their composition does not always comply with these recommendations. So, triclosan is a known antibacterial agent, it is often included in the composition of medical pastes and antiseptic rinses, as it inhibits the growth of pathogenic microflora, prevents the formation of plaque and removes bleeding gums.

    The effect of its use is noticeably more perceptible than the anti-inflammatory and bactericidal action of medicinal herbs, so not to mention it as the main component is incorrect. Moreover, the use of tools based on triclosan daily dentists do not recommend, so as not to provoke dysbiosis of the oral cavity. The optimal scheme for the use of this tool - a course of two weeks after removal of tartar in the dental office.

    SplatComplete. The conditioner contains components of plant origin - nettle extract and biosol, which have moderately bactericidal properties. For preventive purposes, this tool can be used daily, as it does not contain antiseptics and fluorides; the absence of alcohol in the composition allows it to be used for the prevention of diseases of the teeth and gums in children. Polydon, which is part of the rinse, prevents the formation of soft plaque and dental plaque, dissolving its organic component.

The rinse components prevent the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria, have anti-carious activity. Fluoride concentration is 250 ppm, the product does not contain alcohol, so it can be used for the prevention and treatment of tooth sensitization in children.

    Lacalut Sensitive. In terms of its composition, the Lacalut Sensitive rinse is similar to Lacalut Active, but contains a more effective fluorinating component - aminofluoride.

The concentration of fluoride in this tool is 250 ppm, does not contain ethanol, so that without fear can be used for the treatment and prevention of inflammation in children and motorists.
