Proflo Ortho Mouthwash is primarily used to prevent dental cavities. A dental cavity or caries is a permanently damaged area in the tooth which develops into tiny holes. Cavities are caused by various factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well.

Proflo Ortho Mouthwash contains Sodium fluoride, a mineral. It prevents cavities/decay by making the enamel resistant to the decay caused by acids and bacteria. It further strengthens the tooth enamel by mineralization. 

Use Proflo Ortho Mouthwash as advised by the doctor. Common side effects of Proflo Ortho Mouthwash include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset and gum irritation.

Dental cavities: A dental cavity or caries is a permanently damaged tooth area that develops into tiny holes. Cavities are caused by various factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well. Untreated cavities can cause infection, toothache, and tooth loss. Plaque starts forming after eating/drinking anything sugary. The bacteria in the mouth turn the sugar into acid. The acid in plaque erodes the tooth enamel, leading to tooth decay. Symptoms of tooth cavities include tooth pain, tooth sensitivity, black/white staining on the teeth, and a visible hole in the tooth.
