Yes. Isopropanol is combustable and not to be injested, and can cause serious tissue damage. If you want to get rid of bacteria, rinse instead with peroxide, diluted 1:1 with water.

Can you use rubbing alcohol as mouth wash?

Rubbing alcohol is a molecular agent use to prevent and stop the growth of bacteria and create condition that prevent bacteria to either populate or repopulate but does not kill it.The basic function of 71-91% Rubbing alcohol is to create a toxic environment for re-population and to be a air drying lubricant to the skin that simply allow the bacteria to be moved from one place to another.rubbing alochal alone can damage your oral thoracic cavity (mouth and below) considering the cells do not function the same as skin so id suggest use lots of water and very little rubbing alcohol to rinse with.This is the concerning part. For some reason you decided to use alcohol alone or put to much in with the wateryou would suffer some bad side affects like:Damage to the saliva glandsirritable drynessYou could inflame your uvula, epiglottis, esophagus and digestive system if swalloweddiarrheaHeart burn like symptoms the list goes one considering your body is a domino affect.The only thing that alcohol can help with is to keep yeast that naturally live on your tong to a minimal level.It will not bleach your teeth like a peroxide agent nor will it prevent cavities.Yes you can use it as a mouth wash but the side affects outweighs its benefits.Hope this helps
