Why Does Mouthwash Burn?

Introduction

Ever wondered why your mouthwash sometimes feels more like a fiery experience than a refreshing one? For many, the burning sensation in the mouth after using traditional mouthwash can be uncomfortable or even painful. But why does mouthwash burn? Are there gentler alternatives that still clean effectively?

Let’s explore the science behind this sensation. We can look at options like TOOTHING’s glycyrrhizic acid mouthwash tablets. They offer effective oral care without the harsh burn.

Why Does Mouthwash Burn?

Most traditional mouthwashes contain ingredients such as alcohol, menthol, and certain essential oils that can cause a burning sensation. Here’s a breakdown of the main culprits:

1. Alcohol: One of the most common ingredients in mouthwash, alcohol acts as a disinfectant, killing bacteria in the mouth. But this same property can cause a stinging or burning feeling, especially for those with sensitive gums or any small cuts in the mouth.
2. Menthol and essential oils come from plants like mint and eucalyptus. They give a fresh, minty feel. However, they can also cause a tingling or burning sensation because they are exceptionally strong. For some, menthol can be too intense and may irritate the soft tissues in the mouth.
3. Sensitivity and Irritation: Some users have a lower tolerance for certain ingredients. Over time, using alcohol-based products may increase sensitivity. This can make the burning sensation feel worse.

Alternatives to Harsh Mouthwash Ingredients

Not everyone needs or wants a mouthwash that burns. Effective ingredients available are gentler on the mouth and just as beneficial for oral health. For example, TOOTHING’s mouthwash tablets contain glycyrrhizic acid.

They offer a new way to improve oral hygiene without a harsh feeling. Here’s how:

• Glycyrrhizic Acid: This compound comes from licorice root. It has natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. This makes it a good choice for reducing bacteria without causing irritation. It also supports gum health, making it particularly beneficial as the best mouthwash for gingivitis.
• Xylitol Mouthwash Tabs: Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener known for its dental benefits. Especially useful in reducing cavity-causing bacteria without harsh chemicals. TOOTHING’s xylitol mouthwash tabs provide a refreshing experience that’s safe and gentle enough for regular use.
