Mouthwash better than flossing

Who does the dirty work between the teeth? That a brush is not enough, is a truism. But who would have thought that just in times of ultrasound-supported teeth cleaning and professional swinging head the good old mouthwash again finds its place in the nursing row?

It is 100 years old, but dentists from Dusseldorf are now giving preference to rinsing with dental floss. They refer to a test in which 156 people should rinse or polish with silk for eight weeks. The result was: Once daily flushed with anti-bacterial solution is more effective than flossing.

In the irrigation group plaque and periodontosis were more pronounced than in the dental floss group. Bleeding gums prevented both methods equally well.

It is the first time in the history of dental care, in which diligence is not distinguished: A few times sweeping flushing and gargling should be more useful than meticulous Gepfriemel? Yes, say Dusseldorf dentists.

In their study they are confronted with well-known negligence - besides the antibacterial effect, the most important reason for the superiority of the mouthwash: Most people do not use their dental floss properly - which has obviously also affected the result of the toothbrush study.

Every evening, the interdental spaces should be flossed. Application time for experienced people: two minutes. But most people are more fleeting, awkward, or fangs irregularly. The result is minor injuries and bleeding gums.

A mouthwash, on the other hand, eliminates - assuming it has antibacterial properties - the best of the hosts of microorganisms in the mouth. They make their way through the food left over between the teeth, produce lactic acid that destroys the enamel, or attacks the gums.
