00:00Is the mouthwash sitting in your bathroom harming you more than helping?

00:04British surgeon Dr. Karen Rajan warns that some mouthwashes might be increasing your risk of cancer.

00:10Dr. Rajan explains that mouthwashes with alcohol disrupt the good bacteria in your mouth.

00:16These bacteria protect your teeth, freshen your breath, and aid digestion, but alcohol-based mouthwashes kill them off.

00:24Unlike alcoholic drinks, these mouthwashes have higher alcohol levels and linger on your teeth and gums, causing more damage over time.

00:32Chronic use has even been linked to higher colorectal cancer risks.

00:36That's not all. Alcoholic mouthwashes can cause enamel erosion, teeth staining, ulcers, and other oral health problems.

00:44Dental experts recommend avoiding mouthwash altogether. Instead, stick to thorough brushing and flossing.

00:51If you use mouthwash, skip the alcohol-based ones and rinse only after meals, not after brushing.

00:57Protect your health. Read the labels, make the switch, and share this information with others. Your mouth will thank you.
