Mouthwashes, and particularly those that contain chlorhexidine, not only help keep teeth and gums clean and healthy -- but may also help reduce the transmission of coronavirus.

New research has shown that mouthwash can:

• Significantly reduce the amount of virus in saliva
• Reduce the risk of transmission
• Alleviate the effects of coronavirus

It is now common practice for a dentist to insist patients use mouthwash prior to a dental appointment in order to decrease the viral load in the mouth -- to minimise the risk of transmission from patient to dentist or close contacts.
