Episode notes
Mouthwash Harms the Oral Microbiome
- Most mouthwashes today are harmful and based on outdated, harsh ingredients like alcohol and essential oils.
- Sterilizing the mouth disrupts the oral microbiome, which functions like an additional organ essential for health.
Choose Minimal Mouthwash Ingredients
- Choose mouthwashes with minimal, effective ingredients to protect the oral microbiome.
- Prioritize products like elemental oral care’s simple formulations with plant-based silver nanoparticles.
Xylitol Supports Oral Health
- Xylitol at 25% concentration reduces acid secretion and biofilm adhesion in the mouth.
- It mimics saliva proteins stabilizing calcium, aiding remineralization and oral health.
