I'm trying to find the safest mouthwash to use in India because I've heard that some mouthwashes with alcohol might be linked to oral cancer. Is this something I should be worried about? I'm currently using Listerine, but I'm wondering if there are any better options out there. Could you suggest something?

The best alcohol-free mouthwash available in India is Colgate Plax. It is effective in killing germs and providing long-lasting fresh breath. Since you are concerned about the potential link between alcohol-containing mouthwashes and oral cancer, it is advisable to switch to an alcohol-free option like Colgate Plax. Use it twice a day after brushing your teeth, with 20ml undiluted for 30 seconds.

I've noticed this small, skin tag-like piece of tissue inside my mouth on the cheek side, and it's pretty uncomfortable. Im not sure if I should see a dentist or a doctor about it. Do you have any idea what it could be?
The excess tissue inside your mouth, resembling a small skin tag, could be a benign growth such as a fibroma, mucocele, or a traumatic fibroma, and it's recommended to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as they can assess the tissue and possibly remove it if necessary
