Does mouthwash with alcohol kill more flora than without alcohol?

Mouthwashes containing alcohol are generally more effective at reducing oral bacteria than those without alcohol. Alcohol has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that can help kill bacteria and other microorganisms in the mouth. However, it is important to note that mouthwashes with alcohol can also have negative effects, such as drying out the mouth and causing irritation. Therefore, it is recommended to use alcohol-containing mouthwashes in moderation and to follow the instructions on the product label.
