Is Brushing The Teeth With Benzethonium Chloride Dangerous?

hI I accidently brushed my teeth with benzethonium chloride pramoxine. I immediately washed my mouth with water (several times) brushed my teeth with toothpaste and drank some milk. I don t believe I ingested any but some might have gotten in my saliva. The next day I smell cholorine. Is this serious?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In case if you have not ingested any amount of the benzethonium chloride pramoxine then you need not to worry about it.
Chlorine smell can be due to the effect of the chemical but in case if there are no other symptoms you need not to worry as it will get better soon.
You can simply gargle thoroughly with water and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.
Eat well and keep a watch over yourself.
In case if you see any abnormal symptoms get yourself checked at the Emergency room.
For now I do not think there is anything to worry for.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
