Detoxify Your Mouth, Transform Your Health - Why You Need A Dental Detox

Your mouth is dirty.

Mouthwash, The Silent Killer

Are you one of the millions who incorporate mouthwash into your daily oral care routine, believing that it’s essential for maintaining a healthy mouth? 

What if I told you that this seemingly harmless habit could be doing more harm than good?

Research has shown that the regular use of antibacterial mouthwash can have detrimental effects on your oral and overall health. Not only does it disrupt your oral microbiome, literally causing bad breath and cavities, but its effects are even more far-reaching.
