Huang Wenlong pointed out that if you use mouthwash every day, it may cause the following four problems:

●Stimulation of oral mucosa: If alcohol is added to the mouthwash for sterilization, it is easy to irritate the oral mucosa.

It is recommended to use a mouthwash that does not contain alcohol, which is milder and safer.

●Change the flora ecology: Excessive use of mouthwash will make the flora in the mouth unbalanced. After changing the ecological system of bacteria in the mouth, it will make the bad bacteria grow faster.

●Teeth staining: Long-term use of some mouthwash ingredients (such as Chlorhexidine) may cause tooth and tongue staining.

●Change the sense of taste: Some mouthwashes are more irritating to the sense of taste, especially the mouthwash containing Chlorhexidine, which may change the sense of taste.

Huang Wenlong appealed that mouthwash is only an aid to cleaning teeth. Generally speaking, mouthwash is used 1-2 times a week, and it is enough to stay in the mouth for 30 seconds.
