Mouthwash Linked to Oral Cancer!

With new reports becoming apparent about the link of mouthwash with oral cancer, there will be an alarming number of people affected. Many people religiously use various mouthwashes as part of their dental routine. But as highlighted in the Telegraph’s news story on the 13th of Jan, the alcohol in mouthwashes can break down to produce a dangerous carcinogen called acetaldehyde.

This remains within the oral cavity, making the mouths lining more permeable to chemicals such as nicotine (even more bad news for smokers) as well as contributing directly to an increased risk of developing oral cancer.

Although one solution is to avoid mouthwashes altogether, they can also be limited to short term medical use, the professor suggests.

Another option we recommend is Miessence alcohol free version of organic mouthwash, which will have your breath smelling fresh but without any nasty side effects. In fact Miessence produces an entire range of organic oral care products including organic toothpaste and organic breath freshener spray, all of which are available online at buyOrganics.co.uk
