Have you ever experienced bleeding gums, canker sores, and bad breath? Aggressive chemical mouthwashes can potentially be harmful to your gums for several reasons. I am a mother of 3 and I had to be extra careful with those. Here is what I found:
1. High Alcohol Content in Mouthwashes
98% of mouthwashes in stores contain significant amounts of alcohol, which leads to a dry mouth. A dry mouth environment is less effective at washing away food particles and bacteria, and this increases the risk of dental issues, like bad breath and tooth decay. However, this is not on the label, is it?
2. Irritation Caused by Aggressive Chemicals
Aggressive chemicals in mouthwashes irritate the delicate tissues of the mouth, including gums. This leads to discomfort and inflammation. READ THE LABEL and avoid these chemicals at all costs: Chlorhexidine gluconate; Ethanol (ethyl alcohol); and Methyl salicylate. Trust me, it is better to have 5 glasses of wine every night than those substances anywhere near you ( Tested :) )
3. Disruption of Oral Microbiome
Harsh mouthwashes can disrupt the natural balance of good bacteria in the mouth. This imbalance can lead to various oral health issues, including an increased risk of infections like canker sores. Here are some other common mouthwash ingredients that may harm your oral microbiome:
Alcohol – Kills all bacteria, both good and bad.
Hydrogen peroxide – Kills all bacteria, both good and bad. It may also kill the cells inside your teeth.
Chlorhexidine – A broad-spectrum antimicrobial commonly found in mouthwashes. It may stain your teeth, increase calculus formations, and alter your taste perception.
4. Risk of Accidental Ingestion
If you are a parent - be careful! I started all of this after one of my 3 kids drank some of my mouthwash. I literally died from concern and he had problems with the stomach for 2+ weeks. Thank got he just drank 30-40 ml as having more is really, really dangerous.
My solution as a mother: For those looking for a gentle alternative, look for organic mouthwashes that are alcohol-free, and that can clean effectively while preserving the beneficial bacteria. The natural ingredients prevent discoloration and reduce sensitivity, promoting a healthier, more natural smile. I researched on my own and I found that smoke tree is one of the best herbs for mouth hygiene. That's when I created organic Smoke Tree mouthwash for which I became organic farmer of the year in my country

When I learned about these 4 dangers (and experienced one of them firsthand), I decided to take action:
Our family brand produces only organic solutions from our own gardens, and we believe in the power of nature - NOT in chemicals. Instead of making products with a simple goal to sell them, we create products that we would give to our own children.
This is why we test everything in a laboratory in France. Our organic, alcohol-free mouthwash made from our homegrown smoke tree is no exception. We proved that an organic mouthwash can have REAL results! See for yourself what our clients think:
Reviews:
“WOW
My husband has a very severe form of periodontitis, and nothing stopped his bleeding except antibiotics. We are amazed at the effect of the smoke tree water because it tightened the gums and stopped the bleeding immediately. It's only in 2 days, I'll write again in a week, but just WOW” - Maria
"Impressed!
I use mouthwash regular from the well known brands, but I decided to try this one, because I like the idea of using organic products. I'm happily suprised how fresh my breath is and it definitely helps for my bleeding gums. I ordered a second bottle."
"Best mouthwash on the market with added bonuses of being completely free of harsh chemicals and my tooth pain is gone within 2 days, and not returned, after 3 months of use.😍🙏"
