Saline Oral Rinse 1 article

Saline Oral Rinse is a simple salt-water solution used to cleanse the mouth and provide gentle postoperative or mucosal care. It is commonly prepared as warm saline and may be advised after extractions or minor oral surgery once the clinician considers rinsing appropriate. Saline has no dedicated antiseptic drug or fluoride ingredient, so its role is mechanical cleansing and comfort rather than targeted antimicrobial therapy; it should therefore not be substituted for a prescribed rinse when a specific active agent is required.
