Mouthwashes that Can Damage Your Teeth | Dental Hygienist Explains

Do you have a dental question I can answer in a video? Let me know!

Please please please reply me
I have recently bought colgate PLAX mouthwash i dont know if its good to use or not so please reply that whether i should use it or not

Thank you so much for the wonderful video! I was wondering which THERABREATH version is the best one to use to protect enamel and exposed Dentin? THERABREATH has a few different options. May you please recommend the one that's best for enamel protection and repair? Thank you!!

I just bought Listerine and ACT a week ago to start a system recommended by another Dentist. I also bought Closys too. The Listerine and ACT will have to be trashed, thankfully they didn't cost much. What is your thoughts on Xylitol? And what toothpaste do you recommend? I'll look and see if I can find some info on your other videos.

Why wouldn't an anti-microbial rinse kill off all the normal flora in your mouth leaving yourself open to more of the bad tooth decaying bacteria by killing off your normal flora?

Using Listerine for years now.. and the alcohol type at that too, which is only more acidic... That would explain my slowly receding gums and absolutely eroded enamel :( I wish my dentist told me that, because honestly she's been saying that it's only due to me "brushing too hard" when I am pretty sure I do it right and I do have a soft brush... Time to change my dentist ASAP.

I am using Peridex for gingivitis prescribed by my dentist. It's on your list of mouthwashes NOT to use. So what should I do? Try something else. It's going to stain my teeth and the hygenist will remove the stains at my next cleaning. What do you recommend I do?

Why do dentists use the Listerine and Crest mouthwashes in their offices with their patients? What can you share about the Sensodyne Pro-Enamel mouthwash?

Great explanation!
Does the Closys mouthwash help to prevent plaque build-up as well?
Thank you Derik!

Could you add sodium bicarbonate to the low PH mouthwashes to raise the PH?

Can you comment on thymol as a mouthwash? Thanks

really important but very sad to see you didn't discuss whether alcohol in the rinse played a part...you mention colgate and crest rinses as having high ph's, but i use the non-alcohol versions, but do not know by your report whether that makes a difference. would love to hear back here if you have that info.

isn't that ironic that peridex is prescribed or sold to you by the dentist?

Do you know if Dr Jen's mouth rinse is safe to use?

I love closys

What do you think about risewell products? I’m looking into purchasing the toothpaste and mouthwash

What therabreath do you recommend? They have several

I have started to use Closys and LOVE it!

Most people don't take advantage of input gain, not Derik, he uses that shit to the fullest, so we can hear him

Thank you!!

How does an anti-microbial mouthwash help with tonsil stones?

Thank you so much for this video!

So Closys would be recommended for attacking rather than masking bad brethe? Along with having a good PH

My dentist literally gave me iorinse wtf 😒 I even told her I had sensitivity

Is it fluoride or gingivitis ingredients that make it acidic or the alcohol in some what's good for gingivitis but also ph balanced

How do I check if Hello mouthwash is safe?

Hii not sure if u still replying to comments, but I plan on getting the “Hello gingivitis Mouthwash” i want to prevent my receding gums from getting worse. It has aloe Vera and coconut oil in it, no alcohol in it as well. Do you think it’s safe for my teeth and gums and low ph?

I’m so sick of all these companies! Ugh! It’s just criminal! Everything is a lie- stevia in the raw.. nope maltodextrin - it’s everything!! Ty for this - just threw my ACT in the garbage

never heard of the ones you recommend. LOL

how about if you have peridontal disease? therabreath kept my gums somewhat too red. does it take a while to see results?

Is it okay to just use toothpaste as mouthwash? I swish the toothpaste in my mouth and spit it.

I use therabreath it was very good

Any opinion on rinsing with salt water?

I had been using The Natural Dentist, and was noticing how dry my mouth felt afterwards. It might be time to switch.

So know should I trash my Listerine

Thank you so much for this. My hygienist recommended closys for me. Does it actually work? I'm kinda scared to use it but if it's gonna help make my teeth better than why not

Are there any side effects

What about adding alkali drops to acidic rinses?

Can Closys be used daily?

Thank you so much. Your video was awesome at explaining the various mouthwashes. I will try the TheraBreath for gums one.

Thanks for explaining about the PH level, I didn't know anything about that. I've used listerine on and off for many years but stopped using it as I was sure it was damaging my enamel. I used it after brushing too and didn't know it was bad.

Does closys have fluoride ? I’ve been using sensitive mouth one and don’t see it on ingredients
I need fluoride for teeth issues

Can you do a video on the best toothpaste to use for cavity protection, enamel repair, and gum protection?

Thank you this helped tremendously

What about the Listerine that has no alcohol or is that just as bad?

Fluoride certainly fights decay … just like chemo fights cancer

Invaluable information!
I appreciate your time to do the research and share your findings.
I am.going to share this.
We have our health system backward here.
Dental should be more affordable, and there should be more information.on product labels, as our mouth and teeth are the gateway to good health.
Can't eat a healthy diet with deteriorating teeth and oral health problems!

Do these mouth washes you recommend actually work? I've been pretty skeptical about more natural mouth washes.
