Dentists' opinions

The manufacturer's website does not contain a detailed description of the composition of the rinse aid, but it talks a lot about the presence of natural ingredients in it. This is incorrect, because the product contains various chemically active substances - solvents, fragrances and other synthetic compounds

.

Some rinses in this series contain triclosan. Its fight against microbial organisms is much more effective than, for example, a decoction of chamomile or other medicinal herbs. Triclosan is non-toxic, but it is not recommended to use it longer than prescribed in the treatment course

.

Microorganisms in the oral cavity tend to get used to the action of this antibacterial substance and mutate. In this regard, the effect of any other drugs aimed at eliminating bacteria is sharply reduced. Long-term use of triclosan leads to dysbacteriosis

.

Forest Balsam also contains alcohol

. Its antiseptic properties are widely known, but combining the use of the product and driving a car will be problematic.

As for another component - fluorine

, then it is quite often criticized, since, according to some data, it can reduce tooth sensitivity. One way or another, there is an acceptable daily intake of fluoride.

For daily oral care, it is allowed to use products with a concentration of this substance of no more than 0.05%. In “Forest Balsam” its amount is 0.02%. Thus, the standards are met.

Consider Listerine mouthwash, which is an effective preventative.
