Indications & Uses
Eucalyptol + Menthol + Methyl Salicylate + Thymol + Sodium Fluoride mouthwash is used for gingivitis, gum disease and plaque. It is also used for cavities, bad breath and general oral hygiene, and it helps keep teeth cleaner and brighter.
Pharmacology
Eucalyptol is a natural organic compound and a colourless liquid. It is a cyclic ether and a monoterpenoid. Many brands of mouthwash and cough suppressant contain it. It controls airway mucus hypersecretion and asthma through anti-inflammatory cytokine inhibition.
Menthol gives a cooling sensation by stimulating the cooling receptor, and it also has a local anaesthetic action.
Methyl Salicylate penetrates and reaches a high concentration in painful areas. There it inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and relieves pain effectively.
Thymol is one of the chemicals in thyme. It is used with another chemical, chlorhexidine, as a dental varnish to prevent tooth decay. Thyme is used as a flavouring agent in foods, and red thyme oil is used in perfumes. Thymol is also used in soaps, cosmetics and toothpastes.
Fluoride salts are often added to municipal drinking water (and to certain food products in some countries) to maintain dental health. Fluoride strengthens teeth by forming fluorapatite, a naturally occurring component of tooth enamel. Toothpaste often contains sodium fluoride to prevent cavities, although tin(II) fluoride is generally considered superior for this use.
