I don't want to play doctor here Dieter but I would not use triclosan mouth 
rinse. If you want a good safe means to prevent tooth decay you could use 
extra virgin coconut oil that you work around your mouth and your teeth with 
your tongue for a while and can then swallow. You can also use a vegetable 
oil for oil swishing. Take a good soup spoon full of oil in your mouth. Suck 
and push this between your teeth and allaround for 10 minutes or so until 
the oil looks like white mayo and then spit it out. That clears up bacterial 
pathogens without poisoning you as well.
If you are troubled with a deeper tooth ache I would put some chili 
powder/powdered cloves in with the oil so that it is just nicely hot. These 
herbs stop inflamation and kill pain. Works for me and mine.
