Reasons To Use A Flouride Free Mouthwash

By George Wright


For years, fluoride was a mineral that people though they simply couldn't get enough of. Much like calcium, it plays a major role in fortifying, strengthening and protecting the teeth. In reality, however, too much of this or any other mineral can be seriously detrimental to a person's health. That's why many people are opting to include a flouride free mouthwash in their oral care routines. Products like these freshen the breath without causing any harm.

One thing to note about this mineral is that it's benefits are hotly debated. When exposure is too high, there is also a very high level of toxicity that people must be concerned with. This is why small children are always advised against using more than a pea-sized amount of any fluoride containing agent.

Certain research has revealed the dangers of ingesting this mineral in excess amounts particularly as it related to widespread health issues. Some studies revealed that the pinneal gland can become calcified. Fluoride is believed to alter the density of both the bones and the brain and it may even affect bone structure. Because of the severity of these issues, it is smart to opt for a mouthwash that is free of this mineral.

There is also the fact that many municipalities are still putting this mineral in their water supply systems. As such, each time you rinse your mouth with regular tap water, your exposure to fluoride increases. Some people are still drinking this water as well, which means that they are actually ingesting the mineral, and in large quantities.

When it comes to ensuring the ongoing health of your natural tooth structures, fluoride can actually play a vital role in blocking the teeth from absorbing nutrients that build them up. For instance, minerals and vitamins that your food contain can actually be absorbed and used by the teeth. This absorption is blocked by fluoride coatings. This can in turn lead to weaker tooth structures in the future.

As you look around for a good rinse to use, check for product that are capable of killing off bacteria that cause odors. Tea tree oil is commonly added to these solutions due to its natural, germ-fighting power. Make sure that your chosen rinse is a mild one so that you aren't harming your soft tissues.

Pay attention to the amount of alcohol that is in any product. Too much alcohol can leave the gums feeling swollen and irritated, especially if you have agitated these with a hard toothbrush. Look for water-based solutions instead, that have their own natural, antimicrobial agents built right in. Not only will products like these cleanse the mouth, but some can actually play a role in soothing the gums. Using your regular oral care products should always feel pleasant.

If you are trying these products out for the very first time, look around for companies that offer either product samples or high-value coupons. This will limit the amount of cash that you have to spend to find a worthwhile product. You can find offers like these on the websites of product manufacturers as well as on third-party coupon sites.
