Ⅰ. Introduzione
In today’s pursuit of a natural and healthy lifestyle, propolis mouthwash is gradually becoming a new favorite in the oral care market. As a professional oral care manufacturer, 3TOP has always been committed to researching the most effective oral cleaning solutions. Although traditional mouthwashes are widely used, the potential side effects of their chemical components have raised concerns among consumers. Propolis, as a natural antibacterial substance, has been proven to have excellent oral health benefits. This article will objectively compare propolis mouthwash with regular mouthwash from multiple aspects to help you make a wise choice based on your personal needs.
Ⅱ. Component comparison
1. The main components and functions of propolis mouthwash
(1) Propolis
Propolis is a resinous mixture with natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In mouthwash, propolis can effectively inhibit oral pathogenic bacteria, reduce the formation of dental plaque, and promote the repair of oral mucosa, alleviating gum bleeding and ulcers. Its bioactive components, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, can also enhance local immunity and reduce the risk of oral infections, making it suitable for daily oral care or as an adjunctive treatment for oral inflammation.
(2) Xylitol
Xylitol is not fermented by oral bacteria to produce acid, thus reducing the risk of tooth decay. In mouthwash, xylitol can stimulate saliva secretion and neutralize the acidic environment in the mouth. Moreover, it can interfere with bacterial adhesion, inhibit the growth of cariogenic bacteria, and work in synergy with propolis to enhance oral health protection, making it especially suitable for children or those prone to tooth decay.
(3) Alcohol-free formula
Alcohol-free mouthwash avoids the irritation caused by traditional alcohol-based ingredients and is suitable for those with sensitive mouths or those who use it frequently. This formula is safer for children, pregnant women, or patients after surgery, and does not affect the normal balance of oral bacteria. It strikes a balance between cleaning effectiveness and comfort.
2. The main components and functions of regular mouthwash
(1) Chemical disinfectant
Regular mouthwashes usually contain chemical germicides such as chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine, which can quickly kill oral bacteria and reduce plaque and gingivitis. However, long-term use may disrupt the balance of oral bacteria, causing mucosal irritation or tooth discoloration. Therefore, the frequency of use should be chosen with caution.
(2) Contains alcohol
Alcohol, as a solvent and disinfectant, can enhance the antibacterial effect and extend the shelf life. However, high concentrations of alcohol can cause dry mouth and a burning sensation, and are not suitable for sensitive individuals or those who use it for a long time, as it may aggravate mucosal problems.
(3) Artificial flavoring and preservatives
To improve the taste, regular mouthwashes often contain artificial flavoring agents such as saccharin sodium and flavoring, as well as preservatives like benzoic acid sodium. Although this enhances the user experience, some of these ingredients may cause allergies or irritation, and are not suitable for children or those with sensitive constitutions.
Ⅲ. Differences in efficacy
1. Antibacterial and bactericidal capabilities
The antibacterial effect of propolis mouthwash mainly relies on natural propolis and xylitol. It can gently inhibit pathogenic bacteria and reduce dental plaque, but it takes effect relatively slowly. regular mouthwash contains chemical germicides, which kill bacteria more quickly and more effectively, but they may disrupt the balance of oral bacteria and long-term use may lead to drug resistance.
2. Relieve oral problems
