Why Chlorhexidine is used in tootpast and mouthwashes?
Basicaly chlorhexidine is an antibacterial used as a disinfectant and other applications. It is also used in disinfectants (disinfection of the skin and hands). Chlorhexidine is often used as an active ingredient in mouthwash designed to reduce dental plaque and oral bacteria. Chlorhexidine lasts longer in the mouth than other mouthwashes, which is partly why it is to be preferred over other treatments for gums. So that is the reason for chlorhexidine to be used in tootpast and mouthwash.
What are different types of disinfectant?
Disinfectants can be classified in two different ways. One is by what type of chemical they are. For example, the active ingredient in Lysol is O-phenylphenol. Phenol and some other disinfecting chemicals are chemically similar. Another way to classify disinfectants is by how many hard-to-kill microbes they are effective against. High level disinfectants can kill most endospore-forming bacteria which tend to be very resistant. There are intermediate level and low level disinfectants as well.

What is difference between household disinfectants and antibiotics?
Household disinfectants kill microorganisms, but you can't ingest it. Antibiotics are specially manufactured in pharmaceutical industries and carefully tested before distributed to the drugstores. They are made on different presentations such as tablets, liquids that is suitable to be taken orally. Injections of antibiotics are more effective because they are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and so they can fight infections more efficiently. Household disinfectants kill bacterias that usually don't cause serious disease, unless the immune system of a person is weakened, while antibiotics are specially developed to treat common or serious infections that were caught by people. Antibiotics can also treat skin infections and in this case, ointment or other forms can be prescribed

What does mouthwash do for your teeth?
Although mouthwash should never be a replacement for regular brushing and flossing it helps reduce plaque and other harmful bacteria buildup, especially between the narrow crevices between the teeth. It also temporarily combats bad breath. However, many commercial mouthwashes only mask bad breath. I recommend you either purchase a natural mouthwash product or make your own by using this recipe from my organic living blog listed below. Natural mouthwashes are as effective as commercial ones but without the synthetic ingrediences. http://chicorganik.blogspot.com/
