When Mouthwash burns does that mean it's working?!
Question:
When Mouthwash burns does that mean it's working?
I think it's the alcohol, but I've been told by several people that the burning sensation is actually the mouthwash wiping out bacteria. Is this true?
Answers:
No, it is alcohol stripping away the good and the bad bacteria in your mouth.
It is better to brush your teeth, floss, and rinse with a salt water solution or a mild, non-alcoholic mouth wash you can get at any drugstore.
The more you use alcohol, it will kill the good bacteria and cause you to have more problems.
