    Patients on sodium-restricted diets should be aware of mouthwash sodium content. Some brands, like Plax, contain significantly more sodium than others, potentially impacting daily intake.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Health
    • Dietary Sodium Analysis
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Sodium intake requires careful monitoring for individuals with hypertension and other health conditions.
    • Nonprescription mouthwashes are widely used but their sodium content is often overlooked.
    • Understanding sodium absorption from oral rinses is crucial for dietary management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify sodium retention from three common nonprescription mouthwashes.
    • To compare the sodium content and retention across different mouthwash brands.
    • To inform patients on sodium-restricted diets about potential dietary sources from mouthwash use.

    Main Methods:

    • A controlled study involving 17 adult participants.
    • Rinsing with 15 ml of Cepacol, Plax, Viadent, 5% saline, and distilled water.

  • Measurement of retained sodium by analyzing expectorate after rinsing.

    • Main Results:

    • Sodium content varied significantly between mouthwashes (Viadent: 144 mg/l, Cepacol: 410 mg/l, Plax: 5320 mg/l).
    • Approximately 33% of the initial sodium rinse was retained, regardless of the product.
    • Retained sodium amounts were 0.7 mg (Viadent), 1.9 mg (Cepacol), and 28.3 mg (Plax) per 15 ml rinse.

    Conclusions:

    • Certain mouthwash brands, particularly Plax, represent a significant source of sodium.
    • Individuals requiring sodium restriction should consider mouthwash sodium content in their daily intake.
    • Awareness of mouthwash sodium levels is essential for effective dietary management in at-risk populations.
