HYPOCHLOROUS ACID (HOCl) ORAL CARE — WEBSITE FAQ
What is Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)?
HOCl is a powerful yet gentle antimicrobial molecule your own white blood cells produce to keep you healthy. It kills bacteria, viruses, and biofilm rapidly—while staying incredibly safe for human tissues.
Is HOCl safe to use in the mouth?
Yes. When properly formulated, HOCl is non-toxic, alcohol-free, non-irritating, and gentle for daily oral use. It feels almost like water.
How does HOCl work?
HOCl destroys harmful microbes through oxidation, not chemicals or poisons. This natural mechanism makes it highly effective while limiting side effects.
Does HOCl kill the good bacteria too?
No. HOCl reduces harmful bacteria and biofilm but does not sterilize the mouth or cause long-term imbalance the way some harsh mouthwashes can.
What can HOCl help with?
HOCl can help reduce:
• Bad breath
• Gum inflammation
• Plaque-forming bacteria
• Post-treatment microbes
• Aligners, dentures, and retainer bacteria
• Oral ulcers or minor irritations
Is HOCl a replacement for brushing and flossing?
No—think of HOCl as a powerful upgrade to your routine, not a replacement.
Use HOCl alongside brushing, flossing, and dental visits.
How do I use HOCl as a mouth rinse?
Spray 3–4 times into the mouth or swish 10–20 mL for 15–30 seconds, then spit.
Use once or twice daily, or as directed by your dentist.
Is HOCl safe to swallow accidentally?
Yes. In small amounts, HOCl breaks down into salt and water in the stomach.
Will HOCl burn or sting?
No. HOCl is extremely gentle—no burning, no alcohol sensation, and no harsh aftertaste.
Can children use HOCl?
Yes. HOCl is safe for kids, seniors, and sensitive-mouth patients.
Younger children should be supervised to ensure they don’t swallow large amounts.
Does HOCl help with bad breath?
Yes. Many cases of bad breath come from sulfur-producing bacteria on the tongue and gums. HOCl neutralizes these bacteria quickly and safely.
Can I use HOCl on aligners, dentures, and retainers?
Absolutely. HOCl is excellent for cleaning orthodontic devices—killing odor-causing bacteria without damaging plastic or acrylic materials.
Is HOCl good for patients with gum disease or bleeding gums?
Yes. HOCl helps reduce bacterial load and inflammation associated with gingivitis and periodontitis. Many dentists recommend it for daily support.
Can HOCl be used after dental procedures?
Yes—HOCl is often recommended after cleanings, extractions, implants, and oral surgeries to help reduce bacteria and soothe tissues.
Does HOCl whiten teeth?
No—HOCl is not a bleaching agent.
However, by reducing bacteria and plaque, it can help keep teeth cleaner and fresher.
Why doesn’t HOCl damage human cells?
Your body naturally regulates HOCl and protects healthy tissues with enzymes like catalase.
Pathogens don’t have these defenses—so HOCl targets them, not you.
Is HOCl the same as bleach?
No. Bleach is sodium hypochlorite at high pH. HOCl is a different molecule, much gentler, and naturally produced by the immune system.
Can bacteria become resistant to HOCl?
No. HOCl attacks microbes through multiple pathways at once, so resistance is virtually impossible.
Is HOCl environmentally friendly?
Yes. HOCl breaks down into simple saltwater—no toxins, no residues, no environmental burden.
How is HOCl made?
HOCl is created by electrolyzing salt and water. Your immune system produces it in a similar way inside the body.
How should I store HOCl?
Keep HOCl in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
Stabilized HOCl lasts months; freshly generated HOCl is best within weeks.
Can I use HOCl in my Waterpik / water flosser?
Yes. Many users add HOCl to their oral irrigators for extra cleaning power.
(Use only approved concentrations.)
Is HOCl approved by dentists?
Yes. HOCl is widely used in dental clinics for pre-procedural rinsing, gum therapy, aligner cleaning, and post-treatment care.
Does HOCl replace chlorhexidine?
For everyday use, HOCl is far gentler and avoids the staining, taste changes, and mucosal irritation associated with chlorhexidine.
For heavy surgical cases, dentists may still use chlorhexidine as needed.
Can HOCl help with canker sores or minor oral irritation?
Yes. HOCl’s antimicrobial and soothing properties can help speed healing and reduce discomfort.
What does HOCl taste like?
It tastes like very mild saline—often described as “clean,” “fresh,” or “barely noticeable.”
How often can I use HOCl oral spray or rinse?
You can use HOCl multiple times a day. It is non-toxic, non-alcoholic, and gentle on tissues.
Does HOCl interact with dental work, implants, or fillings?
No. HOCl is safe on enamel, composite, porcelain, titanium, and stainless steel.
Can I travel with HOCl?
Yes. HOCl is non-flammable and TSA-friendly for carry-on liquids under 100 mL.
