Is Alcohol a Required Ingredient for Mouthwash To Be Effective? Ask The Expert with Katrina Sanders, RDH! Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

I remember the first mouthwash I tried, it was sweet and minty and set my mouth on fire. We then added water to lessen some of the burn but was told that if "it isn't burning, it isn't working." Katrina Sanders joins the show today to give us expert discussion on why alcohols were added in the first place, and what types of rinses we should be using today!

Show notes

Imagine a scenario where your loved one goes off to war. They disappear amidst the chaos but their whereabouts are unknown. There is no closure. This is a horrible reality for some, but for so many others there are forensic experts working diligently to identify and honor those who sacrificed for us, and their families. And while some might think dental professionals do not have a hand in this, they are sadly mistaken. Join Kimberly Erdman on today's episode to learn about the pivotal role of the dental professional in forensics!
