Product Information

Comparison of fecal and oral collection methods for studies of the human microbiota in two Iranian cohorts Determine the primary reason for using mouthwash. Is it to treat a condition or simply to prevent dental disease? Essential oils are extracted from plants that are known to have aromatic or healing properties. Some mouthwashes do have essential oils added to their ingredients. However, you can make your own by adding drops of essential oils to the water.

Worsening bad breath: Alcohol-containing mouthwashes may make dry mouth and halitosis worse since they dry the mouth out more.Soreness, ulcerations, and redness may sometimes occur. Long-term use of chlorhexidine mouthwash is known to cause tooth and tongue swelling. It can also alter or decrease taste and cause dry mouth. In some patients, it can increase the build-up of dental tartar. This may be due to shifts in oral bacteria. It may also interact with toothpaste ingredients, so should always be used separately.

Contemporary Clinical Dentistry. 2014;5(4):466-470. Results from the differential relative abundance analyses at phylum and genus level for stability of oral samples are shown in Additional file 2 Table S6. Samples collected by Scope mouthwash had a higher abundance of the phylum Firmicutes (Day-0 mean 0.3354, SD 0.1157; Day-4 mean 0.3941, SD 0.1180; FDR < 0.001) but lower abundance of Proteobacteria (Day-0 mean 0.1203, SD 0.0911; Day-4 mean 0.0928, SD 0.0745; FDR < 0.001) after 4 days at room temperature. Of the 18 genera that varied significantly (i.e., FDR < 0.01) in Scope mouthwash samples, 10 genera increased in relative abundance including Bifidobacterium, F0332, Streptococcus, Peptococcus, Ruminococcaceae UCG-014, Solobacterium, Selenomonas 3, Lautropia, Pseudomonas, and an unidentified Veillonellaceae genus; 8 genera decreased in relative abundance including Rothia, Porphyromonas, Alloprevotella, Prevotella 7, Gemella, Neisseria, Aggregatibacter, and Haemophilus after 4 days at room temperature. Comparability of oral samplesThis mouthwash helps fight gingivitis and halitosis (also known as bad breath). FDA-approved ingredients and a formula that won’t burn your mouth make it a solid upgrade to a formula you’re likely used to. Dry mouth is an uncomfortable condition that occurs when your salivary glands fail to produce enough saliva to keep your mouth wet. This can be hereditary or be caused by stress, medications, or smoking. Whatever the cause, this formula by Colgate can help hydrate your mouth in between brushing. According to the label, it relieves dry mouth for up to four hours. Similarly, we evaluated consistency between two collection methods (RNA later vs. FOBT for gut microbiome, OMNIgene mouthwash vs. Scope mouthwash fro oral microbiome) using samples immediately frozen (day-0).

Our study found some differences in the stability or comparability of fecal and oral samples by location. For example, stability ICCs for RNA later samples were slightly lower in Yazd samples but ICCs for FOBT cards were lower in Gonbad samples. It is unclear why the stability may differ by location or rurality, and was dependent on the collection method, but these differences highlight the importance of conducting a pilot study to optimize the best method for collecting fecal and oral collection before conducting a large prospective cohort. Previous studies have found that the gut microbiota composition differs by geographic location [ 13, 15], but it is possible that these differences could be partially related to handling characteristics such as temperature, collection methods, or processing procedures. Our results suggest that samples collected by Scope mouthwash are generally stable for most microbial metrics, but there was higher abundance of the phylum Firmicutes and lower Proteobacteria after 4 days at room temperature. Similar to our results, samples collected with mouthwash in previous studies found microbial composition was stable for 4 days and 1–2 weeks variable lengths of time [ 7, 22, 23]. One study also found an increase in relative abundance of Firmicutes and a decrease in Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteria after 4 days at room temperature with Scope mouthwash samples [ 7]. Although we did not test the OMNIgene ORAL samples for stability, at least one previous study on oral collection methods found that the OMNIgene ORAL kit had similar bacterial diversity after 2–7 days of storage at room temperature [ 20]. It’s probably the most common question dentists get: "Which mouthwash should I be using?" Or, "is this mouthwash good?"In this study, we investigated the stability and concordance of two fecal collection methods (RNA later stabilizing solution and FOBT card) and two oral collection methods (the OMNIgene ORAL kit and Scope mouthwash). When looking at overall community variability, the observed variation in both fecal and oral microbial communities was primarily explained by inter-individual differences with little microbial variability related to geographic location, collection method, or freezing timepoint. Looking comprehensively at metrics of alpha diversity, beta diversity, and the relative abundance of three specific phyla, we found that RNA later, FOBT card, and Scope mouthwash were stable at room temperature for up to 4 days. In addition, samples preserved in RNA later had similar microbial community characteristics to samples collected using an FOBT card, but differences in the relative abundance of some phyla and genera were observed. OMNIgene ORAL samples were less similar to the Scope mouthwash samples, although the oral samples still had moderate to excellent comparability. Aoun A, Darwiche F, Al Hayek S, Doumit J.

They don’t contribute to its action or effectiveness and may have adverse reactions.

When we compared the fecal samples collected by RNA later and the FOBT card, most of the microbial metrics did not differ. Similar to our results, other studies found no major differences in alpha or beta diversity metrics between FOBT cards and RNA later [ 8, 14]. While one study found similar relative abundances across common phyla [ 8], our study saw fecal samples collected by FOBT card had a significantly lower abundance of Bacteroidetes but an higher abundance of two phyla, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes (FDR < 0.001) compared to RNA later samples. In addition, we found relative abundance differences for a number of genera including Bacteroides and Bifidobacterium, but it is not possible to determine whether these were increases or decreases in these taxa (or possibly changes in other taxa) due to the relative nature of these abundances. A summary of the population characteristics, collection methods, and number of microbial samples used for each method is outlined in Table 1 and in the participant study flowchart (Additional file 1 Fig. S4). The GCS and PERSIAN cohorts were described previously [ 17, 18]. In brief, the GCS consists of 50,045 participants aged 40–75 years, who were sampled from the urban area of Gonbad City ( n = 10,032) and surrounding rural areas ( n = 40,013) from January 2004–June 2008 [ 18]. The PERSIAN cohort has accrued approximately 165,000 participants since 2014 and is still accruing participants with the aim to include 180,000 Iranians aged 35–71 years from 18 geographic areas in Iran [ 17]. For the GCS, the inclusion criteria were comprised of not having a current or previous diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal cancer and not being a temporary resident of the area. For the PERSIAN Cohort, the inclusion criteria included being of Iranian descent, living in the study area for at least 6 months, and not having any physical or psychological disability that would prevent them from completing the enrollment process. 50 participants (25 male and 25 female) were randomly selected from Gonbad for GCS and Yazd for the PERSIAN cohort to participate in a pilot study to measure their fecal and oral microbiota. The final analytic cohort consisted of 84 individuals with a participation rate of 84%. Possible reasons for not completing the sample collection ranged from worry about the sampling ( n = 9), inability to complete the sample procedures ( n = 0), not having enough time (n = 1), or unknown ( n = 6). Basic demographic information such as age and sex were collected via questionnaire at the time of sample collection. The GCS was approved by the ethical review committees of the Digestive Disease Research Center of Tehran University Medical Science, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the United States National Cancer Institute. The PERSIAN Cohort received approval from the ethics committees of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, the Digestive Disease Research Institute (Tehran University of Medical Sciences), and each participating university. Fecal sample collection Preservatives: These prevent the growth of bacteria in the mouthwash. Common preservatives are sodium benzoate or methylparaben. They don't contribute to the action of the mouthwash. And since it's available at a reasonable price, it’s a great budget option to add to your daily routine for oral health. Rashed HT.

You can use a mouthwash to get rid of gingivitis to a certain degree, says Vera W. L. Tang, DDS, MS, clinical assistant professor, and vice chair and predoctoral director, department of periodontology and implant dentistry at NYU College of Dentistry in New York City. "The etiology or cause of it is bacteria." So, it comes down to reducing bacteria and any way this can be done, such as by using mouthwashes, would be beneficial to patients who are susceptible.
