[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Go Dallyeong] Jinangun, Jeonbuk Province, announced on the 3rd that it is distributing fluoride mouthwash free of charge to local residents for oral health.

Fluoride mouthwash is effective in relieving tooth sensitivity and eliminating bad breath, and when used daily after brushing, it is the most economical and convenient oral care method that can prevent cavities by 40-50%.

Currently, it has been supplied first to about 100 elderly residents with a high incidence of periodontal disease and exposed root surfaces, resulting in healthier gums and alleviation of tooth sensitivity symptoms.

For fluoride mouthwash, it is effective to gargle about 10cc for 1 minute once a day after brushing, then spit it out without rinsing the mouth with water, and avoid eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes.

Applications are accepted at the public health center’s oral health office, where residents can experience proper brushing techniques and receive fluoride mouthwash and oral hygiene products for one month.

In addition, the county plans to conduct a fluoride mouthwash program for children by accepting applications from local schools to prevent cavities during the transition from primary to permanent teeth.

A public health center official said, “We will continue to promote the fluoride mouthwash program, which is easy to practice in daily life and effective, to improve the oral health and quality of life of local residents.”
