Oral antiseptics are oral rinses that are used for the prevention of oral diseases. Oral rinses act as a barrier between the microorganisms and the oral cavity. These prevent the oral cavity from the growth & action of the microorganism and eliminate them completely. As we know, oral healthcare is the key indicator of every health, and maintaining oral health is very important. Ignoring oral health leads to several gum diseases and gingivitis. If we do not maintain proper oral hygiene, then we may suffer from minor & major oral diseases such as gingivitis, sores/cankers, and dentures, and treating the most widespread oral diseases like caries and periodontal diseases such as periodontitis, aggressive periodontitis, and abscesses. These cause pain, discomfort, disfigurement, and can even be fatal in some cases. Oral diseases are a major concern in many countries and are expected to affect nearly 3.5 billion people. Tooth decay (caries) is the most common, and more than 530 million children suffer from caries of milk teeth.
However, most oral diseases are preventable, and early treatment can be effective but still, developing regions are unable to provide better oral health services. Sedentary lifestyles, high intake of sugar, excessive smoking, and consumption of alcohol are the major reasons for the degradation of oral health globally.
An increase in the cases of oral diseases, rising awareness among the people, zero side effects provided by the oral antiseptics, rising online product sales, increasing usage of oral antiseptics pre and post surgeries, the growing incidences of chronic gingivitis, and a hike in the number of oral surgeries globally are the major reasons driving the global oral antiseptics market. New product developments, such as the use of herbs in oral antiseptics, are attracting a large consumer base. Also, herbal oil-based oral antiseptics, organic oral antiseptics, and alcohol-free oral antiseptics are propelling the market growth vigorously. Rising online product sales, increasing usage of oral antiseptics pre- and post-surgeries, and the growing incidences of chronic gingivitis is the key factor boosting the market growth.
