The 3 Crucial Features Of An Effective Anti-Microbial Mouthwash

Recent articles like ‘Can mouthwashes douse the spread of Covid 19?’ published in MedScape on June 12 and Dr Challacombe’s June ’20 paper presented  at the Royal Society of Medicine both suggest an oxidising mouthwash can reduce microbial load, which in turn could possibly halt the spread of Covid 19.

Ideally, a dental mouthwash should be potently antimicrobial yet safe and gentle on teeth, gums and the oral mucosa.

It should require a short contact time to make it convenient to rinse but allowing sufficient time to kill the target bacteria or virus.
