has anyone ever used this as a mouthwash?

It's used in some natural mouthwashes. I read an article that said just make the tea, keep it in the fridge and use up to 3 times a day as mouthwash. It's supposedly great against all manner of infections, bacteria in general, and plaque. I started using it as mouthwash a week ago, and it has not stained my teeth at all. My gums and teeth seem to be doing well so far.

I haven't, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would lightly hand wash it. My concern would be that running it through the wash my degrade the waterproof material or coating.

I'm not sure about that. It puts out small dabs of soap for washing the hands great. You would probably be pumping it a lot to get a small cup of mouthwash. I don't think that would be very practical.

I use it in addition to flossing. I use mouthwash and it gets the gum line in addition to a large gap I have between two crowns that floss don't seem to clean out entirely.

You can but it MUST be highly diluted. I think it is one or two drops per 8oz of water. Google it to be sure. I gargled it for strep last year and it worked but i don't remember the dilution.

don't think it would be a good idea- disperses soap very well. mouthwash would be a little thin

I know it is good for mouth sores straight. I would google about the dilution. Or maybe ask the product source. Let us know.

This was a great question! I tested mouthwash in my dispenser and the answer is YES! Press the output button to the maximum allowed and it will dole out exactly two teaspoons full, which is the amount needed to rinse.

I have not been affected by the citric acid in this mouthwash and I have been using it for years. My dentist has not notice any change on my enamel. If in doubt ask your dentist on your next visit if you decide to use this mouthwash.

You can use it by itself no problem. Once in a while I like to mix it with activated charcoal and rub my gums before bed time.

I assume you are basing your question on the information provided by Dr. Michael Greger in one of his latest videos on NutritionFacts.org in which he suggests the use of green tea with Indian Gooseberry as a better mouthwash than those that are commercially available. I am a retired dentist and back when I graduated (LLU '76) the use of chlorhexidine was being touted as the ultimate solution to the problem of dental caries. I did not use it nor did I recommend it to my patients. I did not think it wise to eliminate completely the oral flora. I continued to recommend mechanical cleansing of the teeth and gums along with an optimal dietary regimen for health and longevity. I recommend making green tea mouthwash like this: one pint hot water, 4 green tea bags, 1 peppermint tea bag (for flavor), and one teaspoon amla powder. Let stand for four hours, remove the tea bags, shake vigorously. Use as any other mouthwash without rinsing the mouth after use. For cleansing and refreshing the mouth, I think it is better than any commercial product I have seen.

You should be able to use it for mouthwash as the mouthwash liquid is not as thick as the soap and should not have any problem on it pumping through its line.

great question - I had to search myself for application instructions. What you're using it for will dictate its application. I was using it as a mouth rinse for an infected tooth/gum, so I diluted 1 drop per 2 ounces of water, mixing it VERY well, and swished around for a few minutes. Below is a link I found for Thieves, this products competitor, but can be used for this product as well. Good luck!http://www.natural-aromatherapy-benefits.com/thievesoilrecipe.html

Well I would say no. I use it, and it's back to soggy in less than a minute. Also it leaves a lot of dryness and my skin peals off. I hope this is helpful.

No I haven't, this is an excellent product that still removes food even after brushing my teeth and flossing. I suppose you can using the lowest water pressure.
