Frequently Asked Questions
Are alcohol-based mouthwashes bad for you?
In short: yes, they certainly can be. Many mouthwashes have a very high alcohol content. Alcohol is a toxin, and introducing it to your mouth for sixty seconds each morning can pose a number of risks. It may irritate mouth sores and can also cause dry mouth. Some studies have even suggested a link between alcohol consumption and some kinds of oral cancers.
The other thing about alcohol-based mouthwashes is that they kill everything on site.
And sure, there can be some bad bacteria in your mouth, but some oral bacteria is actually essential for health. This is all part of something called an oral microbiome.
Alcohol can damage this microbiome, making your mouth worse at keeping itself healthy.
