Do you need to rinse Colgate mouthwash with water after use? How many times a day should you use Colgate mouthwash?

It is said that using mouthwash can freshen breath and remove food residues from teeth. Can I rinse with water after using Colgate mouthwash? How many times a day is it better to use Colgate mouthwash?

Colgate mouthwash is quite good for cleaning teeth dirt and removing bacteria, but this mouthwash cannot be swallowed, so if you don't take it orally, you can rinse it with water and then rinse your mouth. Don't worry if you accidentally swallow it. After all, only a small part can be swallowed, and the mouthwash itself has little side effects on people. It is recommended to rinse it with water twice after rinsing.

It is not recommended to use mouthwash every day. It should not be used more than 3 times a day. Large amounts of mouthwash may cause cancer.

Mouthwashes are divided into two categories: health-care and therapeutic. Health-care mouthwashes generally have a more comfortable taste and their main ingredients are oral fresheners, which are used to remove bad breath. Therapeutic mouthwashes contain anti-inflammatory and bactericidal drug ingredients such as chlorhexidine compound iodine, and should not be used casually. They can only prevent and control periodontal tissue inflammation.

The best pH value is about 6.5-7.5. If the pH value of some mouthwashes is lower than 5, they are too acidic. If too much acidic mouthwash is used, the calcium ions in the enamel will begin to enter the saliva and cause decalcification. In fact, oral acidification leads to tooth decalcification, which is one of the causes of tooth decay.

Mouthwash must have a pH value higher than 5. 6.5-7.5 is the most reasonable range, which can sterilize and protect the oral cavity and has the best taste. After considering the pH value, it is recommended to choose medical mouthwash over general mouthwash.

Colgate mouthwash is suitable for use after brushing your teeth. Generally, gargle for more than 30 seconds and spit it out to kill bacteria. Two to three times a day is enough and it should not be used too often. In addition, it is a mouthwash and is non-toxic. Don't be nervous if you accidentally swallow it. It can only work through gargling. If you swallow it or use it other ways, it may not be effective. So it doesn't matter whether you rinse your mouth with water after use.
