Crest Scope Outlast Long Lasting Mint Mouthwash, 33.8 fl oz

Product Information

Flavors: Artificial flavoring will give the mouthwash its color and taste. They don’t contribute to its action or effectiveness and may have adverse reactions. Fluoride has been shown to be effective in preventing tooth decay, with five to 50% less dental decay. However, it should only be used in high-risk cases.

If you're prone to canker sores, dry mouth, or sensitive teeth, look for a mouthwash that caters to that condition. If you're unsure of which product to choose from, talk to your dentist for recommendations on the best product to use. One concern is that chlorhexidine may not be that effective against the particular bacteria known to cause bad breath. Preservatives: These prevent the growth of bacteria in the mouthwash. Common preservatives are sodium benzoate or methylparaben. They don't contribute to the action of the mouthwash. You can use a mouthwash to get rid of gingivitis to a certain degree, says Vera W. L. Tang, DDS, MS, clinical assistant professor, and vice chair and predoctoral director, department of periodontology and implant dentistry at NYU College of Dentistry in New York City. "The etiology or cause of it is bacteria." So, it comes down to reducing bacteria and any way this can be done, such as by using mouthwashes, would be beneficial to patients who are susceptible. In this study, we investigated the stability and concordance of two fecal collection methods (RNA later stabilizing solution and FOBT card) and two oral collection methods (the OMNIgene ORAL kit and Scope mouthwash). When looking at overall community variability, the observed variation in both fecal and oral microbial communities was primarily explained by inter-individual differences with little microbial variability related to geographic location, collection method, or freezing timepoint. Looking comprehensively at metrics of alpha diversity, beta diversity, and the relative abundance of three specific phyla, we found that RNA later, FOBT card, and Scope mouthwash were stable at room temperature for up to 4 days. In addition, samples preserved in RNA later had similar microbial community characteristics to samples collected using an FOBT card, but differences in the relative abundance of some phyla and genera were observed. OMNIgene ORAL samples were less similar to the Scope mouthwash samples, although the oral samples still had moderate to excellent comparability.Fifty participants (25 male and 25 female) were randomly invited in Gonbad (GCS, rural area) and Yazd (PERSIAN cohort, urban area), respectively. A total of 84 individuals agreed to participate including 38 participants (76%) from Gonbad and 46 participants (92%) from Yazd. Fecal samples were collected either at the clinic or at home using a Sarstedt tube with RNA later stabilizing solution and FOBT cards. Oral samples were collected at a clinic visit using the OMNIgene oral collection kit and Scope mouthwash. At least one aliquot of each sample type was frozen immediately at − 80 °C (day-0) and one aliquot of the RNA later, FOBT cards, and Scope mouthwash samples was frozen at − 80 °C after sitting at room temperature for 4 days (day-4). Since OMNIgene ORAL samples are advertised to be stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, no day-4 aliquots were created. Results from the differential relative abundance analyses at phylum and genus level for stability of fecal samples are shown in Additional file 2 Table S2. After 4 days at room temperature, fecal samples collected with RNA later had higher levels of one phylum, Actinobacteria (Day-0 mean 0.0137 SD 0.0183, Day-4 mean 0.0203 SD 0.0345, false discovery rate [FDR] for Day-0 and Day-4 comparison = 0.009), and one genus, Collinsella (Day-0 mean 0.0023 SD 0.0038, Day-4 mean 0.0036 SD 0.0058, FDR = 0.006), but lower levels of the genus Coprococcus 3 (Day-0 mean 0.0026 SD 0.0023, Day-4 mean 0.0019 SD 0.0021, FDR = 0.009). There were no statistically significant differences in phylum- or genus-level relative abundances for samples collected by FOBT card after 4 days at room temperature compared to immediately frozen samples.

Salt water is an isotonic solution, which means it contains the same salts and minerals as our body fluids and won’t irritate your gums. InformedHealth.org [Internet]. Cologne, Germany: Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG). Gingivitis and periodontitis: Overview.Formulated with FDA-approved cetylpyridinium chloride, this mouthwash kills germs linked to gum disease and other periodontal problems, making it the best option for people with gingivitis. This formula also helps fight periodontitis, which is a later-stage gum disease that occurs when gingivitis is left untreated.It's free of alcohol, artificial colors, or flavors, so it won't irritate your gums. For orthodontic patients: this is a good alternative (or supplement) to foam tray applications if you are having orthodontic treatment. As microbiome measures for feces samples collected using RNA later, FOBT cards and oral samples collected using Scope mouthwash were stable over four days at room temperature, these would be most appropriate for microbial analyses in these populations. However, one collection method should be consistently since each method may induce some differences. Results from the differential relative abundance analyses at phylum and genus level for stability of oral samples are shown in Additional file 2 Table S6. Samples collected by Scope mouthwash had a higher abundance of the phylum Firmicutes (Day-0 mean 0.3354, SD 0.1157; Day-4 mean 0.3941, SD 0.1180; FDR < 0.001) but lower abundance of Proteobacteria (Day-0 mean 0.1203, SD 0.0911; Day-4 mean 0.0928, SD 0.0745; FDR < 0.001) after 4 days at room temperature. Of the 18 genera that varied significantly (i.e., FDR < 0.01) in Scope mouthwash samples, 10 genera increased in relative abundance including Bifidobacterium, F0332, Streptococcus, Peptococcus, Ruminococcaceae UCG-014, Solobacterium, Selenomonas 3, Lautropia, Pseudomonas, and an unidentified Veillonellaceae genus; 8 genera decreased in relative abundance including Rothia, Porphyromonas, Alloprevotella, Prevotella 7, Gemella, Neisseria, Aggregatibacter, and Haemophilus after 4 days at room temperature.
