Rinsing your mouth with salt water a good thing?

Answer 1

um it taste like water with salt...lol thats not that bad

but it helps canker sores alot  

Answer 2

yes definetly..particularly if u have a cut or bruise in your mouth or u have a sore throat or if u had a tooth removed, it helps keep it clean and free of debris plus it helps get rid of irritation when u have such things as mentioned above. I don't think its a good idea to use it just to use it though, use mouth wash.

Yeah it will be fine just make sure you don't swallow it because that could upset your stomach.

Answer 8

My mom used to work for an oral surgeon and they always recommended it after having your teeth pulled.  Apparently it helps prevent infection.  It's also best to use warm water when you do a salt water rinse.  I'm sure if it's good to do when you have an extraction it's good to do all the time!

Answer 9

My husband does it when he gets canker sores.  It really helps him but I just can't bring myself to do it.  I'm a big baby about things that taste bad.  

Answer 10

Sure, especially if you have a sore throat, or and abcess tooth or something... the salt is absorbed into your blood/skin etc... AND some people brush their teeth witha mixture of salt and baking soda, to get their teeth cleaner and whiter. The salt acts as an abrasion on your teeth.

Answer 11

i don't know if it help your mouth but it does help a sore throat.
