INSIGHT

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  • Most mouthwashes today are harmful and based on outdated, harsh ingredients like alcohol and essential oils.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.
ADVICE

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.
INSIGHT

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.
