Why Should We Recommend Alcohol-Free Home Care?
Take a look at all these categories of patients that can't or shouldn't use alcohol in their home care:
- Cosmetic (eliminate concern about possible resin shrinkage or bonding agent degradation)
- Children (check out the required child-safety caps on alcohol rinses in the stores)
- Elderly (especially those on medications that have xerostomia as a side effect — many antihypertensives, antidepressants, antihistamines, and antibiotics fall into this category)
- Pregnant (this goes without saying!)
- Substance Abusers (do we always know who they are in our practice?)
- People who normally suffer from dry mouth
- Patients who want fresh breath! (Pretty much everyone)
Research supports that most oral malodor occurs from volatile sulfur compounds, organic acids, and other compounds that accumulate in the mouth, particularly the tongue, during the breakdown process of dead bacteria, food, and dead epithelial cells. Agents found in Oxyfresh products, Oxygene® and zinc acetate, neutralize these compounds, rather than masking odors and/or attempting to freshen breath solely by killing bacteria. Because of this, Oxyfresh freshens breath for a long time — up to 8-12 hours or more!
