Saying "mouthwash" in general is not specific enough. There are lots of types of mouthwash. I personally always go for flouride and alcohol mouthwash, so it kills germs and provides protection for my teeth. If the alcohol is what's hurting your mouth, use alcohol free anti-cavity (flouride) mouthwash. Maybe you're using the gingivitis mouthwash? Or the alcohol mouthwash? It doesn't make sense to say all mouthwash does the same thing to your mouth
Did you check the link?
No, I did not click it previously. If you know the problematic ingredient, couldn't you find one that doesn't have sodium lauryl sulfate?
Not yet, that might be something to ask next time I go to the dentist. Admittedly I didn't search exhaustively, I gave up seeing every mouthwash in australian supermarkets have it.
Look at the sensitive ones, often the cheaper ones don't have SLS in them. They're better but with some I still get issues if I don't rinse at all. For reference, Aldi sells one around here without SLS and with fluoride.
