A member asked:

I just used carifree ctx4 treatment rinse and now i'm foaming at the mouth and nauseated. is this normal? mixed rinse a - basically sodium benzoate and xylitol; with b - sodium hydroxide and bleach.

Toxic reaction: Sodium benzoate is not a good substance and sodium hydoxide and bleach iare very toxic because they release chlorine gas. Rinse your mouth out well, get fresh air, and relax. Never use it again. Hydrogen peroxide diluted in water and plain xylitol are safe. Look at your life style: sleep, diet, exercise and stress management to address your problems.

CariFree ct x 4: I am referring your question to some dental colleagues. I don't mean to be insulting but did you rinse for 1 minute & then spit out? Unfortunately, the company doesn't seem to provide full lists of potential side effects on the sites i checked. 1 site indicated: "changes in taste sensation, burning sensation, " i also tried looking this up on medication interaction checkers (ativan, bupropion &.

CariFree CTx4: I am not familiar with this product. After going online and reading the ingredients i'm not sure why anyone would use this product. Did your dentist recommend its use? If so, discuss with that dentist. If not, don't try things on your own. When was you last dental checkup? Discuss dental care with a professional- your dentist.
