Is mouthwash safe to use with dental work?

I have a newer crown that was placed on April '07. I was just wondering if it was safe to use mouthwash (Mint Scope) with dental work (I.E. My crown).

Is mouthwash safe to use with dental work?
Your crown is covered with a ceramic material that is harder than teeth ...it is actually glass. Mouthwashes will not adversely affect your dental work. Ceramic materials 20 years ago were not as stable as today's ceramics and the older crowns could be affected, but not today.





One of the best mouthwashes is warm mildly salty water and its cheap and very effective ...as effective as any commercial brand. Also, using baking soda as a substitute for toothpaste works great and baking soda and salt both control the growth of bacteria in your mouth.





Just a note: I am not a fan of these whitening techniques ...hydrogen peroxide and bleaches can leave your tooth surfaces more porous, therefore more prone to stain. You shouldn't use them at home as too strong a concentration can cause problems ...use the natural cleaners, like salt water or baking soda.

Reply:I had 4 crowns and never had trouble with the standard mouth washes. I have also used bleach water.
Reply:Mouthwash OK, but don't be putting bleach, hydrogen peroxide, etc. in your mouth [NOT HEALTHY}. Geesh the things people want to do!!!
Reply:Yes you can. You can use anything. The crown is made with a porcelin overlay. That porcelin will not stain or change color. They do not absorb anything like a real tooth would. If you bleech, it will not bleech. The color you got is what you get.
Reply:yes they wouldn't put them on if it was please use mouthwash
