This knowledge is inspiring people to prioritize the care of their teeth and gums leading to an increased demand, for effective oral antiseptics.

Challenges

• Side Effects Associated With Oral Antiseptics Containing Alcohol - Oral antiseptics products typically contain a high concentration of alcohol, usually ethanol or isopropanol, as the active ingredient. Even the oral antiseptics' maker acknowledges that it depends on the concentration. For instance, wines have an alcohol content of 718%, whereas spirits have a minimum alcohol content of 30%. On the other hand, the drugstore's disinfecting alcohol contains 70-99% alcohol.
• High out-of-pocket expenditures for oral health care
