If you or your child use an asthma inhaler - you NEED to know this...


If you use an inhaler for asthma - be sure to rinse your mouth out after the treatment. 

The powder in many inhalers is acidic and can erode your tooth enamel over time. They can also cause your teeth to become sensitive and prone to cavities. Some inhalers also contain flavor enhancers that can adhere to and damage the teeth.

If you or your child use an inhaler, take extra care to avoid the contact of the powder with the teeth. Also, be sure to rinse the mouth with water after use and brush with fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day. Fluoride helps protect the surface of your teeth.
