[edit] Voice

Did you know that gargling actually improves the sound of your voice? Try it before a speech. User:88.108.167.26 00:32, 28 February 2006

[edit] Effectiveness

I wonder whether anyone has any information on the effectiveness of gargling. For instance, is it any more effective than simply rinsing your mouth? Jimp 00:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gargling to clear tooth and gum infection

My dentist has asked me to gargle to clear an infection in the area between my gums and lower wisdom tooth. Does that mean that rinsing and gargling the mouth are different things and work differently? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.104.116 (talk) 06:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Gargling is for the throat, while gargling solutions can be swished around through the teeth with benefits, I would not call it gargling. I guess since the wisdom teeth are nearer to the back of the throat he wants you to gargle in addition to swishing to make sure you hit that area adequately with the liquid.

[edit] Listerine?

Would it be possible to mention popularly advertised products like this into the article as part of gargling culture? Other brands can be listed too of course. Tyciol (talk) 15:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
