Oral care products should be
"MADE TO HEAL NOT TO KILL."
Before buying a oral care product (eg. toothpaste, mouth gargle, mouth spray or oral gel), please read the label and ingredients carefully and understand the needs of your mouth.
Teeth brushing is like giving your mouth a shower. It's a preventive care. A good toothpaste and mouthwash will be able to prevent oral disease, tooth decays, gum disease even respiratory tract infection and GI tract infection. Brushing teeth is a daily "MUST DO" routine. Make sure that we buy a toothpaste that does not contain harsh toxic ingredients like sulfate, paraben, triclosan, alcohol etc which may harm our teeth and mucosal tissues (soft tissues) in long term.
Mouthwash, what is the reason we need to use mouthwash? Should we need oral antiseptic to kill "all" oral germs so that it will make our mouth clean, fresh without bad breath? No matter how much we clean our mouth, how strong the antiseptic you use, we can never sanitize our mouth. The antiseptic mouthwash used does not only kill the microbes/germs but the healthy oral tissues, making more reason for the fungus and bacteria to grow and invade the damaged tissues. It will then cause more oral infection and complications like dry mouth, burning mouth, oral thrush, frequent sore throat, fungal disease etc.
Our delicate mouths need delicate products. Give them gentle good oral care products, don't compromise the quality just because it is cheap.
Sick mouth will not only look ugly but painful! Mouth is not just a protective organ but a functioning organ. Eating, drinking, talking and singing is no longer a norm but a mission impossible. Don't take your oral health for granted. Care for it because it deserved a proper care to work for you!
