Natural Mouthwash Can Work for You

Natural mouthwash has become more and more popular in recent years and for good reason. Consumers today are more knowledgeable than ever and they demand products that are not effective but also safe for long-term use. Because of its highly effective nature and its safe ingredients, 100% pure products have become very desired by today's savvy consumer.

Often it is more useful to detail what something is not made of as opposed to what it is. Natural mouthwash is not:

• Made with alcohol
• Made with sugar
• Made with sugar substitutes
• Made with fluoride

Many of today's more famously known mouthwash products contain huge amounts of alcohol. When you buy Listerine, you are buying a product that contains over 25% alcohol. Considering that beer only contain about 5% alcohol, you can easily see how many people would want to avoid using this product. Alcohol consumption, even through the use of mouthwash, can be dangerous or even lethal in some cases. This can be particularly true when children have ingested large amounts of alcohol-containing products.

Sugar has long been known as a cause of tooth decay and gum disease and yet many over-the-counter oral hygiene and bad breath treatments continue to use sugar as an ingredient in their products. They do this simply to make the product taste better. There is no other reason for adding sugar to an oral care product. What they do not tell you, however, is that sugar can often make halitosis or bad breath worse because the germs that cause bad breath will happily feed on sugar and then release their by-products which are the cause of bad breath. The same can be true sugar substitutes.

Recent studies into fluoride have proven that too much fluoride can be very harmful to young children. With many city water treatment plants already adding fluoride to the water system, adding more in the form of toothpastes or mouthwash can be harmful. In addition to causing problems with the teeth, increased fluoride use can also lead to osteoporosis, joint problems and a host of other health issues.

Peroxide mouthwash products should be avoided as well.

A better alternative is use all natural mouthwash products such as those found through OraMD® and other reliable sources. These products do not contain these harmful ingredients and they have been proven to be effective and safe for daily use. Why put your family at risk when you do not have to?
