Jae,

List of Inactive Ingredients in Pro Health Complete Mouthwash 16.9 oz.

water
glycerin
flavor
cetylpyridinium chloride
phosphoric acid
methylparaben
sodium saccharin
poloxamer 407
propylparaben
disodium phosphate
red 33
green 3

There is nothing therapeutic or healthy about these ingredients. Google each one (other than water) and decide if you feel it's okay to rinse with. It is unfortunate but since most dentists are unaware of what is actually in the mouthwashes that they recommend to their patients, it is up to the patient to either just follow blindly or read the label.

Mouthwash with fluoride is not a necessary part of oral hygiene. It really serves little to no value. Thorough tooth brushing with a soft bristle brush, flossing, and tongue scraping every day will keep the plaque and bad bacteria to a minimum. Eating a nutritious diet free of sugar and empty carbs will keep the saliva healthy and reduce the occurrence tooth decay.

Question about mouthwash though, I was told to use a mouthwash with floride in it and so I use Crest Prohealth alcohol free... is there one I should use? (eventually, once everything is healed)[/QUOTE]
