Mouthwash Use

Are the mouthwashes locally available in the market like Listerine and sensodyne acidic in nature? If yes then won't they cause more cavities instead of suppressing them?

Yes, some mouthwashes, including Listerine and Sensodyne, may contain acidic ingredients. These acids can help to create an environment in the mouth that is less favorable for bacteria growth, which can contribute to bad breath and plaque formation. However, prolonged or frequent use of acidic mouthwashes can potentially lead to enamel erosion, which may increase the risk of tooth decay and cavities over time. It's essential to note that not all mouthwashes contain acidic ingredients, and some are specifically formulated to be pH-neutral or even alkaline to minimize the risk of enamel erosion. Additionally, using a mouthwash as directed and in conjunction with proper oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, can help mitigate any potential negative effects.

Hello! Yes they are available. Mouthwash should be used only  when recommended by your dental surgeon. It has its own side effects if over used.
