    Some people think that salt has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, and if we rinse our mouth with salt water, it is not more beneficial to our oral health, which can more thoroughly clean and kill the bacteria in our mouth, so that our mouth can be kept clean. In fact, this is not the case, if we often rinse our mouth with salt water, it is very bad for our health.

    Whether we usually rinse our mouths with salt water or water, the effect on cleaning our mouths is the same, and the difference is not very big. The most important thing is that if we usually rinse our mouth with salt water, after a certain amount of time, the bacteria in our mouth will return to the level before the mouthwash, or even more than the original number of bacteria. However, if we rinse our mouth with water, it will take longer for the bacteria in our mouth to recover.

    This is because if we rinse our mouth with salt water, it kills the bacteria in our mouth, but it also destroys some of the oral mucosa in our mouth. We all know that the oral mucosa is very important for our oral cavity and is very resistant to some bacteria and viruses. Therefore, if we often rinse our mouths with salt water, it is easy to damage our oral mucosa, so that bacteria can multiply more unscrupulously, so if we usually rinse our mouths, we must not often rinse our mouths with salt water, which is very bad for oral health.
