OTHER USES OF MOUTHWASH

OLD LISTERINE

NEW LISTERINE

Today we will learn the uses of Mouthwash, other than washing your mouth. Hope you like these dental life hacks. Do you know before Listerine was promoted as a mouthwash, was used on surgical dressings after surgeries. Actually Listerine started as a surgical antiseptic around 1881. Eventually it is marketed to the public as over the counter mouthwash in 1895. One of the most famous advertising slogan which made Listerine as a household name is “Kills Germs that cause bad breath”. Enough of History, lets dive into the uses of Mouthwash outside your oral cavity.

1.     TOILET CLEANER: If you want a Happy Toilet just pour a ¼ cup of mouthwash and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then just scrub and you see a super shiny toilet.

2.     LAUNDRY ODOR KILLER: The most common problem with the stubborn smells even after washing them is because of germs (bacteria and Fungi). Just take a cup of mouthwash and add it to the regular wash cycle and see the wonder works. Especially good for those smelly dirty socks.

3.     SMELLY GARBAGE DISPOSALS: Have you had the problem of foul smelling garbage disposals. Just like how mouthwash destroys the bad breath can also destroy the foul smells in the garbage disposal. Solution is pour four ounces of that minty mouthwash you have, down the drain and let it take care of the yucky smells.

4.     CLEAN HUMIDIFIERS: Do you know humidifiers is a sweet home for the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew because of moisture in it.  Especially important that you clean regularly, more so if you are not using often. Add about ½ an ounce of mouthwash to the water and keep the air you breathe clean and fresh.

5.     SCREEN CLEANERS:  Are you tired of those streaks and smudges on the glass screens or windows, then just use a cloth dampened with mouthwash. Then use a microfiber which is non-abrasive to dry it out. Use it on computers or Televisions. BEWARE that alcohols in the mouthwash can spoil the LCD’s (Liquid Crystal Displays).  I would recommend this life hack only be used cautiously.

6.     RESCUE PLANTS: Have you seen plant leaves getting affected with fungus and mildew. Make a mixture of mouthwash (1/4^th) and water (3/4^th) and spray on to the leaves. Please don’t overdo it, just spray once a week and see the miracles.

7.     NAIL FUNGUS TREATMENT: Nail fungus are very stubborn and are difficult to eradicate. But a mixture of mouth wash (1/2) and vinegar (1/2) applied with a Q-tip to the affected area 3 times a day would help. Remember you might have to use this for at least few weeks to see the result. So be Patient.

CAVITIES: 10 MYTHS AND FACTS

Lake Lanier Smiles, Affordable Buford Dentist

1. Sugar only causes cavities

Myth.

In fact any form of Carbs can cause cavity. It can be potato, bread or rice. Even fruits and vegetables have sugars and can cause cavities.

2. Acid causes Cavities

Fact.

Bacteria produces acid which dissolve the enamel and weakens the tooth causing cavities. Eating acidic food intensify the decay process.

3. Kids have more cavities than Adults

Myth.

Adults, especially senior citizens are having more cavities than regular population due to the medications which dry out the mouth. 

Due to the water fluoridation the kids are having a reduced number of cavities then before. 

4. Holding Aspirin/ goody powder next to painful tooth helps

Myth.

Aspirin or Goody powder needs to be swallowed to ease the toothache or body aches. On contrary if you keep goody powder or Aspirin on the gums or check can cause "Aspirin Chemical Burn". 

Aspirin is a chemical and burns the oral tissues, gums and cheeks. Most cases heal within two weeks fortunately but visit a dentist to take care of the toothache.

5. All cavities should hurt

Myth.

Far from true. A tooth has a nerve inside and is covered by dentin which has nerve endings and on top of it is the hardest substance in our body called enamel. If you feel pain then the cavity might have spread into the dentin or nerve which has nerve endings causing pain. You will not have pain when the decay is in the enamel. So it is better to get your teeth checked regularly so that the dentist can check for any early cavities. Even dentists can reverse the very early process of cavities. Schedule an appointment with the dentists at Lake Lanier Smiles for evaluation.

6. Cavities will not happen once it's filled.

Myth.

A filling is done after removing all the cavity. But it doesn't protect the tooth from future cavities. You get cavities next to the fillings if you don't take care of your teeth. So brush and floss regularly.

7. Cavities form only on chewing surface

Myth.

Cavities can happen anywhere food can get stuck and it is more common in between the teeth where bacteria can hide. Cavities can form on chewing surface where you have grooves/ fissures. We can prevent those cavities by doing sealants. To prevent from cavities in between teeth, the only way is Floss regularly.

8. Gaps between teeth causes cavities

Myth.

Wider the spaces between the teeth, easier to clean and lesser the chances of cavities. On contrary if the gap is too small then food can get stuck and cause cavities if not cleaned well.

9. Sensitive teeth are a sign for a cavity

Myth.

Sensitivity can be caused by exposed dentin which can be caused by attrition, abrasion, erosion, fractured tooth. Lastly it can be caused by decay but it's not the only reason though. We have multiple treatments for sensitivity.

10. Babies can get cavities

Fact.

Primary or baby teeth are just like adult teeth and they can get cavities too. Even baby teeth needs to be brushed and flossed.
