(Ok, that may be up for discussion.) But seriously, fresh breath and that cool tingle of a proper fluoride mouthwash feel pretty amazing. A fluoride mouthwash is different from the typical kinds. Fluoride mouthwash will strengthen (and whiten!) your teeth, reduce decay, and leave your mouth feeling sooo good.

When dental plaque begins to form in the mouth, certain kinds of bacteria contained within it produce acids which destroy the enamel and dentin of the tooth. This is called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/now.tufts.edu\/articles\/fluoride-teeth-public-water-supply\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">demineralization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and it can lead to cavities if enough of the tooth is destroyed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluoride helps <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/how-does-the-fluoride-in\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remineralize<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the tooth by adding minerals to the damaged areas. It helps the body use calcium and phosphate to repair teeth. It boosts enamel growth and makes teeth more resistant to future acid decay. Fluoride wash can also reduce the growth of harmful oral bacteria, therefore preventing even more acid damage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluoride wash is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/fluoride-treatment#2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">particularly useful<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for those with increased risk of tooth decay. This includes people with dry mouth, as fewer particles get washed away by saliva, thereby leading to more plaque. Those with braces, bridges, retainers, and crowns are at a higher danger for tooth decay as well, as food particles can get stuck around these additions. And of course, people with a history cavity and gum disease definitely benefit from fluoride washes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fluoride mouthwash side effects<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluoride mouthwash tends to be safe when used in moderation, but overuse can lead to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/154164#risks\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">various complications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Of course if you have questions or concerns, consider seeing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-dentist-appointment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your dentist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s strongly recommended\u00a0 kids under six don\u2019t use fluoride mouthwash. Overexposure can cause dental fluorosis, where a child\u2019s mature teeth will develop with white specks or streaks. While not harmful, they may affect the aesthetic quality of their smile and cannot be removed in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High exposure to fluoride can also cause skeletal fluorosis. This disease can damage a person\u2019s bones and joints, leading to pain. While unlikely to be caused by mouthwash, most cases are linked to locations where the drinking water has a level of fluoride higher than is recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/154164#risks\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of toxic-level fluoride use include thyroid problems, nausea, dizziness and diarrhea. Note however that these side effects aren\u2019t a concern if fluoride mouthwash is used correctly. They\u2019re only dangerous in case of routine ingestion of too much fluoride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, a small number of people may have an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/drugs\/2\/drug-75720\/fluoride-mouthwash-dental\/details\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allergic reaction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to fluoride. If you experience rashes, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, or dizziness, immediately reach out for emergency medical help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Combining fluoride mouthwash with fluoride toothpaste<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While fluoride mouthwash offers lots of benefits, it\u2019s only one of the components of good oral health. Flossing should always be the first step, followed by a diligent brushing! You can use both a fluoride toothpaste and a fluoride mouthwash, but you should wait a few minutes after brushing to avoid washing the fluoride off.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For young children, use only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Monitor their teeth while brushing to ensure they are doing so correctly and that they don\u2019t swallow too much fluoride. And remember, don\u2019t let kids under six use mouthwash.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What\u2019s a fluoride rinse treatment?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/327168#about\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fluoride rinse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a professional treatment administered by a dentist.
