is parodontax really safe to use daily?

Hi,

as we know, it is not healthy to use many antibiotics, antibacterial soaps and to desinfect our household if not really necessary/recommended by a doctor. Ive also heard it is not recommended to use antibacterial mouthwashes such as Listerine on a daily basis as it damages natural microflora and might actually kill the good bacteria that fight the bad ones. Ive heard this from a reputable dentist in radio and also read in some articles. In our country, Listerine tried to get official recommendation from Dentist Association to use it in their adverts, but they didnt get it. Now my question is- is using Parodontax mouthwash against paradentosis, that also claims to be antibacterial not suitable for daily use such as Listerine? I know that on the label it claims it is for daily use, but you cant believe everything that the producer says. Im asking this because in the first place, they say it is for the gum health and they dont stress the antibacterial effect so much as Listerine does. So im wondering if they work on same or different basis.

Thank you.

    Its better not to use parodontax daily because its almost like listerine. But if you have to use it on daily basis then ask a dentist personally. As you said that not to believe what the producer says all the time this goes for articles and as well as radio shows. They are not always right. So, ask a dentist personally. Hope that helps :)
