The acids in your mouthwash may be eroding your enamel. Protect your teeth by making smarter choices about the mouthrinse you use.

  • I just recently bought Biotene's PBF with enzymes which are supposed to help break up the bacterial biofilm. Your thoughts? Did you happen to test the pH of that one? It also contains xylitol.

  • @abritrn I haven't tested it myself, but the MSDS lists the pH at 5.3-5.4 which is erosive (especially with compromised salivary flow), so I'd be careful. There are mouthwashes and saliva substitutes that have a neutral to alkaline and I am working on gathering information for a future post on dry mouth management.

  • wow , shocked about Toms brand !!! 

  • @FetaSake I know right!

  • @CoolConejo No problem. Thanks for watching!

  • @FreySmilesOrtho Thanks for taking the time in answering my questions, i appreciate it.

  • @FreySmilesOrtho Awesome, that would be interesting to know. I'm subscribing to your channel.

  • @CoolConejo I am guessing you are referring to the percent by weight concentration of fluoride. This value depends on the molecular weight of the fluoride in the toothpaste. .25% would be less than .75%. It is pretty confusing, I know.

  • @CoolConejo I am getting some pH strips to measure the pH of toothpastes, but most toothpastes are alkaline so the odds are with you.

  • I only rinse with room temp water....
