Question 1

is it safe to use scope mouth wash on tongue piercings?

Accepted Answer

Mouth rinse: Scope is not the optimal anti-bacterial rinse like listerine or salt water rinses or magic mouth rinse or other rinses.  Please consult your dentist.

Question 2

what can i use to clean the inside of my lip piercing if i don't have any mouth wash?

Accepted Answer

Get to a : Drug store and get some hydrogen peroxide and mix it 50/50 with water.  Do yourself a favor and consider losing the piercing.  It will only lead to gum and teeth problems you haven't even begun to envision.  Not a lecture, just a friendly professional opinion.  Hope this helps.

Question 3

how do you clean a lip piercing besides nonalcoholic mouthwash?

Accepted Answer

Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide is always a good alternative.

Question 4

can using too much non-alcoholic mouthwash following a tongue piercing cause irritation and gum sores?

Accepted Answer

Mouthwash: Only if you are allergic to something in the mouthwash or possibly to the piercing of your tongue

maybe the implant is irritating your gum every time it hits against  the gums.

Question 5

can i rinse my mouth with mouthwash after i do the salt water rinse for a tongue piercing?

Accepted Answer

You could, but: I would stay away from all alcohol containing mouthwashes until it is healed.  For now you could just use the saltwater.

Question 6

what type of mouthwash should i use?

Accepted Answer

Listerine: Listerine really does work fantastically, but the alcohol is irritating. Crest pro health is a good second choice that has no burning taste. Mouth wash does not even remotely compare to the effectiveness of proper flossing and brushing. Mouth wash helps when you have healthy gums, but it should not be a substitute for good hygiene.

Question 7

i'm 80! what type of toothpaste or mouthwash should i use?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Check with your dentist/hygienist. However, if your mouth is healthy you should be able to use any toothpaste brand. For mouthwash, try using an alcohol free brand. It is the actual mechanical function (the brushing) which cleanses the teeth.

Question 8

can you tell me if i could use two different types of mouthwash?

Accepted Answer

Don't overdo it: Can? Yes. Should? Unlikely. Why would you want to? For most individuals even using one mouthwash is actually unnecessary. There are exceptions for specific needs. Avoid the ones with alcohol, unless used sparingly. Speak to your own dentist regarding what would be best for your specific situation.

Question 9

which type of mouthwash should i use to get rid of gum disease?

Accepted Answer

None available: Gum disease (periodontal disease) cannot be treated and cured with mouthwash. You need to see a dentist to have your teeth cleaned and a treatment plan devised as to how to correct your problem. After treatment, you can maintain your healthy mouth with proper brushing and mouthwash.

Question 10

about 15-30mins after i brush my teeth & use mouth wash, i get for a lack of a better term a type of film in my mouth. what causes it?

Accepted Answer

Probably alcohol: Many mouth washes have alcohol in them that can dry out the mucus membrane of the mouth giving the feel of a film.  Try a mouth wash without alcohol.
