Wash your mouth out with silver, to treat hard-to-treat mouth infections?

Wash your mouth out with silver, to treat hard-to-treat mouth infections?: Yeasts which cause hard-to-treat mouth infections are killed using silver nanoparticles in the laboratory, scientists have found. These yeast infections, caused by Candida albicans and Candida glabrata target the young, old and immuno-compromised. Scientists hope to test silver nanoparticles in mouthwash and dentures as a potential preventative measure against these infections.
