Mouthwashes clean interdental spaces

Mouthwashes clean interdental spaces

Where the toothbrush does not come, floss, a toothbrush or a mouthwash acts. Stiftung Warentest has now tested 18 mouthwash solutions for their effectiveness.

The results were published in the current issue of the journal „test“. Of the mouthwashes tested, two were for children, two for sensitive teeth, one mouthwash and one medicine.

With „Well“ or even „very well“ The mouthwashes cut off on the subject of caries prevention. Here even every second. Here Aldi (North) / Eurodent and the corresponding flushing of Aldi (South) / Friscodent performed best.

But not all mouthwashes should protect against plaque, gingivitis and tooth decay. Something equal on „Well“ In the prevention of tooth decay, but also before gingivitis and plaque, the mouthwash Odol med3 Extreme, One Dop Only Zx3, Chlorhexamed, Sensodyne for sensitive teeth, Odol-med3 Junior and Meridol cut off.

Stiftung Warentest states in its press release that „Regular visit to the dentist and thorough brushing with fluoride-containing toothpaste“ would not be enough to prevent tooth damage. The interdental spaces would be insufficiently maintained.

In natural medicine, the topic of dental care begins with the intake of food. A healthy resistant tooth substance is also dependent on a nutrient rich diet. Our teeth are biting tools and in today's mostly soft-boiled food our teeth and gums lack the stimuli of solid food to keep their substance and rooting in the gums.

Andrea Thiem, doctor for orthomolecular medicine from Hanover, gives further points to consider:
"It is believed that artificial substances in the large number of tooth and mouth cleaners can have a negative influence on the oral flora." "In some agents aluminum hydroxide is a preservative." Aluminum is very difficult to disperse from the body deposited in the so-called neurofibrils and so can affect our nervous system. "

It makes sense, then, to include his diet and the ingredients of his oral and oral care products in the consideration of the right choice of the most effective method in the oral and dental care. (Thorsten Fischer, Naturopath Osteopathy, 28.01.2010)
