If an alcohol swab, or Listerine are so effective, then how come dentists must autoclave?
Are these treatments REALLY effective (against bacteria, viruses, related spores, and fungi), or do we just feel good BELIEVING they are.
I haven't bothered a lot myself. A micro-organism expert at a hospital suggested to me that you'd have to be kidding if you thought such treatments sterilised.
That anything really effective would destroy the mouthpiece. A local shop had a group of mouthpieces autoclaved, and that was the end of them.
