Let's talk about one of the major things that might NOT make for a good mouthwash. That is alcohol content. Dental experts tell us that alcohol can dry the mucous membranes of the mouth.
Dry tissue in the mouth means that bacteria are not inhibited and can grow quickly. If that seems like a less than ideal situation to you - you are right!
As a corollary, a good mouthwash might have oxygen and be pH balanced. pH balance can serve to retard bacterial growth. Oxygen can help to kill the anaerobic sulfur compound producing bacteria. If that sounds like a good thing - it is!
Sincerely,
