Choosing The Right Mouthwash

Maintaining a good dental hygiene doesn't just end with brushing alone. Aside from having a regular habit of flossing in-between teeth, rinsing the whole oral cavity with the proper mouthwash will not just give you a breath of fresh air, but at the same time, gives you a better feeling of being away from bacteria and other mouth problems.

Basically, a mouthwash is an antiseptic product that rinses and kills the bacteria and other plaque which causes may mouth problems including gingivitis and caries and prevents the development of halitosis or bad breath. The solution is composed by a lot of active ingredients which acts together in performing its function. Ingredients such as methyl salicylate, chlorhexidine gluconate, thymol, hexetidine, eucalyptol, menthol, etc are some of the major active ingredients aside from the usual calcium, fluoride and enzymes are the usually present compounds found in a mouthwash.

There are a lot of mouthwashes available in the market, and it goes with saying that the world offers a diverse choices of what to use. In a great essence, choose the right mouthwash that will definitely suit your taste as well as the other family member who'll use it. Sometimes, there is a significant amount of alcohol present in the solution. Considering the amount of alcohol, choose one that is alcohol-free especially if there are kids. Aside from the effect of alcohol in the flavor of the mouthwash, possible addiction to alcohol may be prevented. Sensitivity can also be considered in choosing. This may affect greatly to those who have gun sensitivity. There are some who founds some of the ingredients to be irritating. In such cases, choosing alcohol-free and other natural mouthwash which contains aloe vera and chamomile can be the best choice. If you want to use a mouthwash not just to have that cool and fresh breath but to also prevent the accumulation and plaque build-up, choose those which contain anti-plaque ingredients.

In choosing the best mouthwash for you, it is strongly advised to always seek professional advice from the dentist near you.

Is there much of a link between flossing and/or using mouthwash and infective endocarditis?

Flossing can induce a septicemia (albeit tempory), but does it increase the risk for acquiring infective endocarditis by commensual bacteria such as Streptococcus viridans? Would there be any difference in risk for using antiseptic mouthwash?

Firstly, it doesn't cause a septicaemia. This is where bacteria are actively multiplying within your bloodstream. What you mean is a transient bacteraemia.
Yes, brushing and flossing your teeth can potentially lead to infective endocarditis. But by having good dental health, your risk is almost insignificant. If you develop gingivitis or periodontitis, then your risk is higher. You have no choice but to brush and floss.
As for antibiotic mouthwashes, products like Listerine (essential oils) are useless. You could use a chlorhexidine mouthwash or gel for superior results. The mouthwash will tend to stain the outside of your teeth (unattractive), so the gel is preferable.
