Do you use mouthwash?

I’ve been using Corsodyl for some years with no problem but it is watered down in my water flosser. Amazing how litttle bits float out.

I broke a tooth during lockdown was told if it wasn't causing me pain it wasn't an emergency .I'm still waiting ..on the list but we're back in lockdown.I've been using mouthwash twice daily to try to avoid any infection.
I have a history of my face blowing up like a ballon with root infections or even just after dental treatment .I vary the mouthwash as corsodyl was staining badly and I just have to hope I'm near the top of the list once lockdown is over

I found I could easily clean off any Corsodyl stains after I stopped using it. I use an electric toothbrush.

Corsodyl stains terribly.

I used to use mouthwash but it began to stain my teeth. They hygienist cleaned them and got them completely restored to their normal colour which relieved me. She told me mouthwash was not something to be used regularly. I have never used it since.

NB it has to be full strength Listerine, none of your no alcohol own brand nonsense.

Funnily enough, I discovered this myself, years ago (don't laugh).
When I was a TA I was always super conscious of bad breath - getting so close to the kids, and they can be very critical.
For related reasons, I always had lots of viruses.
I found that when I gargled with mouthwash in the morning, my cold symptoms would be relieved to a degree.
I always made a point of gargling frequently when I had a cold.
When these findings came out a few months ago I was not surprised.

I will conduct the first trial of gin this afternoon and publish my results in a professional journal.

Are we supposed to rinse and spit the gin like mouthwash or swallow it?

I had an hygienist appointment this morning and asked about mouthwash. She advised me not to use it.

I've just checked and my cheap Lidl mouthwash contains the "magic" ingredient, cetypyridinium chloride (CPC).
I'll be buying a few more bottles if there are any left!

Brave of you to announce stocking up!

Whisky helps toothache, applied to gums - or, even better, drunk as well, so I'd give that a trial!

I used Corsodyl for a short while after a tooth removal. I had to be careful to use it a good while after cleaning my teeth. It certainly helped settle the inflammation but is strong stuff and affected my taste buds for a while.

Well it does cure a lot of things.... Cheers!

This was mentioned at the start of the pandemic. I bought a couple of extra bottles then. I've always used mouthwash as I have dentures.

My dentist told me to not use mouthwash straight after cleaning my teeth. I find my teeth feel really clean if I use Corsodyl although it does stain my teeth.

Asking for a friend ???

I use it, in fact I first read about a mouthwash product which begins with a D that was used in a Welsh hospital and from their findings it was felt that there was a degree of success with patients battling Covid and using mouthwash. I managed to track that brand down and use it daily, although I gather from the report that the onus was on mouthwash per se rather than the actual brand. but I just thought I'd go for the one they were using.

Suddenly I'm interested in this thread

I have a good set of choppers. At almost 70 I still have all my own teeth just 2 fillings and haven't had any treatment for over 20 years. Both my mum, who died aged 72 and her sister, who died at almost 90 were lucky to have good teeth so I guess in my case genetics plays a part.
As far as using a mouthwash to protect against covid infection, well, if it helps, great. If it doesn't, at least my breath smells sweet.

My dentist told me to use a mouth wash once a week when I was on chemo. It helps with sore gums and infection.

Since my dental hygienist told me it's a waste if you use a special toothpaste then a mouthwash - I don't use a mouthwash. I use a Tea Tree Toothpaste because I have been susceptible to oral thrush, and it does the job.

I don't think mouthwashes are that good for your teeth/gums etc , I did use a mouthwash for a while and it stained my teeth and deteriorated my gums/teeth.

I stopped using it and have a good toothpaste and tooth brush, my teeth and gums are not a lot better

Dr Mobeen showed a study in which people that had COVID used different mouthwashes and some were rid of the virus after several days. I think it was a German study. The main one contained iodine I think so I did think about taking iodine supplements. The next best was Listerine Cool Mint. You had to gargle for 30 seconds 3 times a day. Also cleaning your nose using a solution of Johnson’s Baby shampoo helped. None of them stopped you catching the virus.
