My dad is getting a front tooth replacement under a health scheme and the doctors have done multiple root canals during the process. Could there be any long-term side effects from this? He's also noticing a slight shivering in his right thumb could that be related?

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.
