#036 - Stop Using Alcohol Mouthwash Today (Here’s Why)

Most people believe that mouthwash is essential for oral hygiene.

It promises freshness. It promises protection. It promises to kill 99% of bacteria.

But what if that promise is actually harming your health?

In this episode, Dr. Maria Florou dives into the latest scientific evidence on alcohol-based mouthwash and its impact on your oral microbiome — and why killing bacteria is not always a good thing.

We explore:
• The connection between your mouth and systemic health
• How alcohol disrupts the oral mucosa
• Why sterilizing your mouth may backfire
• The real role of the microbiome in inflammation and disease

Your mouth is not a sterile operating room. It’s a living ecosystem — and what happens there affects your entire body.

If you use alcohol-based mouthwash daily, this episode may completely change how you think about oral care.
