Comparative analysis shows mouthwash with cetylpyridinium chloride reduces plaque in oral hygiene, suggesting a burn-free alternative.
Antibacterial mouthwashes are an effective method for reducing plaque and gingivitis when used regularly as part of an oral hygiene regimen that includes brushing and flossing. However, mouthwashes formulated with high ethanol content can be associated with a burning sensation that typically leads to lack of compliance. Alcohol-free, antibacterial mouthwash may be an effective alternative for antiplaque and antigingivitis treatment without the burn.
