Many dentists believe that mouthwash is beneficial to your oral health, but others believe that using mouthwash after meals is overrated. It&#8217;s possible that both sides are correct.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"American Dental Association (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.org\/en\/member-center\/oral-health-topics\/mouthrinse\" target=\"_blank\">American Dental Association<\/a> points out that it &#8220;may be a helpful addition&#8221; to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-hygiene\/brushing-teeth-properly\/\" target=\"_blank\">brushing<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/how-to-floss\/\" target=\"_blank\">flossing<\/a> in your oral hygiene routine.

Ready-made mouthwash can sometimes be harmful to your teeth because it generally contains alcohol and other chemicals. If your mouth is particularly sensitive to alcohol, commercial mouthwash can cause dry mouth and other oral health issues \u2014 but you may want to check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-hygiene\/best-mouthwash\/sensitive-mouthwash\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"66438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mouthwash for sensitive teeth<\/a>. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, we recommend making your own natural mouthwash recipe at home.

Let&#8217;s take a look at some easy <strong>DIY recipes for mouthwashes<\/strong> that you can easily make at home.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"how-to-make-your-own-homemade-mouthwash\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make your own homemade mouthwash<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beauty of making your own mouthwash is that you control the ingredients that go into it. You can go for all-natural ingredients or can also add some helpful chemicals like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-hygiene\/best-mouthwash\/hydrogen-peroxide-mouthwash\/\" target=\"_blank\">hydrogen peroxide<\/a> (if you&#8217;re cautious). The best part is that it&#8217;s much less expensive than commercial products.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we get into recipes, let&#8217;s talk about some common ingredients used in DIY mouthwash and the functions that they have.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential oil in mouthwash<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/best-mouthwash-FI.jpg\" alt=\"probiotic mouthwash\" class=\"wp-image-8972\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/best-mouthwash-FI.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/best-mouthwash-FI-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/best-mouthwash-FI-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/best-mouthwash-FI-790x415.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Essential oil mouthwash is a great alternative to store-bought products<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are all sorts of essential oils that you can include in your mouthwash. These oils are said to have antiseptic and antimicrobial properties that help control bacteria in the mouth. Thanks to its classic flavor, peppermint is the most popular essential oil in mouthwash, providing that fresh menthol feeling after you rinse.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others such as <strong>clove oil, tea tree oil, oregano oil, and coconut oil<\/strong> are perfectly acceptable substitutes in your mouthwash if you prefer a different flavor profile. Some oils, like witch hazel, are said to reduce inflammation or bleeding. You should know that some of these claims have <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ema.europa.eu\/en\/documents\/herbal-report\/assessment-report-hamamelis-virginiana-l-cortex-hamamelis-virginiana-l-folium-hamamelis-virginiana-l_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">limited scientific support<\/a> but have been used traditionally for years.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though they have similar properties, different brands and flavors of essential oils are not the same. Many mouthwash recipes will combine several types to maximize the benefits you receive. For example, there is an essential oil blend called thieves oil that is often used in recipes on its own or combined with others.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spices and plant products<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes instead of using oils, DIYers will use spices or other types of plant extracts in their mouthwash. Two very common examples are aloe vera water and xylitol, used to soothe pain and reduce plaque buildup. Xylitol also acts as a low-calorie sweetener. Spices like clove, cinnamon, and turmeric are used in mouthwash not just for their flavor, but also for various health benefits.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turmeric has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and reduces the risk of heart disease. Clove is a popular ingredient in mouthwash for its remineralizing properties. Cinnamon and star anise are also believed to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar and alleviate cramps and nausea.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, apple cider vinegar and blue-green algae are both known to be effective pH neutralizers in mouthwash, which help keep bacteria and yeast at healthy levels. This is important for treatment and prevention of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-health\/oral-thrush-remedies\/\" target=\"_blank\">oral thrush<\/a>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Abrasives, whiteners, and more<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oils and extracts from plants are all well and good, but there are certain benefits from mouthwash that they don&#8217;t provide. In some cases, essential oils can help but won&#8217;t be as effective as other active ingredients. Here&#8217;s a list of common active ingredients in DIY mouthwash and their effects:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>L-Arginine<\/strong> has been shown to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29935996\/\" target=\"_blank\">remineralize tooth enamel<\/a> and fight decay.<\/li>    <li><strong>Calcium carbonate<\/strong> is an abrasive that helps loosen food particles and provides some remineralization.<\/li>    <li><strong>Activated charcoal<\/strong> acts as a whitening agent and an abrasive for removing plaque and tartar.<\/li>    <li><strong>Salt<\/strong> is an age-old antimicrobial ingredient and helps regulate pH.<\/li>    <li><strong>Hydrogen peroxide<\/strong> is antiseptic and can also be <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4534617\/\" target=\"_blank\">found in many whitening products<\/a>.<\/li>    <li><strong>Baking soda<\/strong> in mouthwash loosens mucus and debris and can also help remove extrinsic staining (surface stains).<\/li>    <li><strong>Colloidal silver <\/strong>is said to have purifying effects in mouthwash, reducing inflammation and fighting bacteria.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now you know what to use in your homemade mouthwash, though you won&#8217;t be using all of these ingredients at once. Exactly which ones and the quantities of each will depend on the effects you want from your mouthwash. So let&#8217;s look at some of the <strong>best home recipes for mouthwash<\/strong> that you can use as a template to adapt as necessary, depending on your desired outcome:<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydrogen peroxide antiseptic mouthwash recipe<\/h3>      <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>1\/2 cup <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/39ofwRL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">hydrogen peroxide<\/a> (3% concentration)<\/li>    <li>1 cup distilled water<\/li>    <li>1 tsp salt<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p>    <ol class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Combine all ingredients in a bowl<\/li>    <li>Mix well, until salt is dissolved<\/li>    <li>Use about a teaspoon per rinse<\/li> <\/ol>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This really simple hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse reduces irritation.

What can you use instead of mouthwash?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial mouthwash often contains harsh chemicals. In theory, if you use your mouthwash according to the instructions, and never swallow it, you should be OK. If you want to be especially safe, make sure only to use mouthwash with the ADA seal of acceptance.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, a mouthwash with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide may work for some people and cause harm for others. The biggest problem, though, is when mouthwash manufacturers claim results that they can&#8217;t deliver, something that the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"FDA is trying to crack down on (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2010\/09\/28\/news\/companies\/fda_warning_johnson_cvs_walgreen\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">FDA is trying to crack down on<\/a>. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to avoid typical mouthwash, there are also a couple techniques (some of which people have used for centuries) that you can use as part of your oral hygiene routine:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Salt mouthwash<\/strong> \u2013 Mix a few teaspoons of salt in lukewarm water and gently rinse your mouth after meals. This can be particularly helpful with cold sores.<\/li>    <li><strong>Oil pulling<\/strong> \u2013 This is a natural healing technique that involves rinsing your mouth with a tablespoon of coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, and rinsing with fresh water afterward. This essential oil mouthwash recipe can be included in the daily oral routine.<\/li>    <li><strong>Vinegar rinse<\/strong> \u2013 By diluting apple cider vinegar in water you can make a simple mouth rinse to regulate your mouth&#8217;s pH, and fight against bad breath.<\/li> <\/ul>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/Woman-rinsing-mouth-1024x910.jpg\" alt=\"baking soda mouthwash\" class=\"wp-image-8968\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/Woman-rinsing-mouth-1024x910.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/Woman-rinsing-mouth-300x267.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/Woman-rinsing-mouth-768x683.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/10\/Woman-rinsing-mouth.jpg 1197w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">         Swish mouthwash vigorously for best results<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <h2 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mouthwashes can be beneficial when it comes to maintaining good oral hygiene, and a homemade mouthwash is a viable alternative to over-the-counter <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-hygiene\/best-mouthwash\/best-natural-mouthwash\/\" target=\"_blank\">natural ones<\/a>. Easy to make with generic natural ingredients, this solution can also treat oral hygiene issues like bad breath. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you have a knack for DIY solutions, these are ideal for you. And if you like the allure of natural mouthwashes that are free from harmful chemicals, but you don&#8217;t want to have to make your own at home, we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1616111&amp;u=2108362&amp;m=101092&amp;urllink=www%2Edrbrite%2Ecom%2Fcollections%2Fmouthwash%2D1&amp;afftrack=drbhomo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dr. Brite&#8217;s range<\/a> of natural and organic mouthwashes that soothe, clean and freshen with holistic ingredients like coconut oil, activated charcoal and aloe vera. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, you need to be aware that homemade and storebought solutions alike cannot substitute for brushing and flossing. These are only effective when included in oral routines that involve regular brushing and flossing at least twice a day. <\/p>    <h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best natural mouthwash for gum disease?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there are several types of natural mouthwash that you can make at home, it&#8217;s hard to say which is the best. Select ingredients that are specific to your oral issues. So, <strong>creating the best solution will depend on what ingredients suit you better<\/strong>, and that depends on your dental history and personal oral hygiene needs.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is homemade mouthwash only good for bad breath?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homemade natural mouthwash can eliminate bad breath, but if you use the right ingredients it can help fight against gingivitis, and even strengthen your tooth enamel. The most important thing to know when making DIY natural mouthwash is what ingredients will give you the desired effect.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it safe to use hydrogen peroxide as a mouth rinse?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hydrogen peroxide is easy to find and almost every drug store has it. This product can help with bad breath and stained teeth, but it&#8217;s important to dilute it properly before use.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"><ul class=\"share-buttons\">     <li
