Efficacy of Lemon Mouthwash in Improving Dry Mouth Symptoms and Salivary Flow in Hemodialysis Patients
Gargling mouthwash is a safe and convenient oral care intervention; it rinses the mouth and increases salivary flow rate. The effectiveness of lemon mouthwash in relieving xerostomia and increasing the salivary flow rate among hemodialysis patients has not been studied. Our study sought to analyze the effectiveness of varying concentrations of lemon in mouthwash solutions on xerostomia and salivary flow rate.
