Mouthwash is a water-based solution widely used for its deodorizing, refreshing, and antiseptic properties in maintaining oral hygiene. It aids in controlling plaque accumulation, a sticky amalgamation of bacteria and food particles on teeth. Oral hygiene practices encompass toothbrushing, interdental cleaners, and therapeutic agents such as mouthwash, toothpaste, and chewing gum. Mouthwashes aim to reduce microbial presence in the mouth and may comprise alcohol, glycerin, artificial sweeteners, surfactants, flavorings, and colorings. Herbal remedies have gained popularity for managing dental plaque and gum inflammation, complementing brushing and flossing. While mouthwash may have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, or antifungal effects, fluoride-containing rinses are commonly used at home to prevent tooth decay. Nevertheless, it is widely acknowledged that mouthwash does not replace the need for brushing and flossing. Mouthwashes fulfill two roles: as part of routine oral care at home and for their antibacterial properties. Pre- and post-oral surgical procedures typically involve prophylactic measures. Natural herbs like spinach, neem, and tulsi have been clinically demonstrated to be safe and effective in addressing oral health concerns such as gum bleeding, bad breath, mouth sores, and decay prevention, either singly or in combination.
