Is It To Be Concerned If The Teeth Is Cleaned With Hair Conditioner?

I caught my wife, a 76 years old alzheimer sufferer, cleaning her teeth with Fruiteen hair conditioner. I made her thoroughly rinse her mouth a few times with water and then with scope mouthwash. She appears to be okay 20 minutes later. Should I worry? It's kind of late to take her to hospital and I know they hate it if you come with no good reason. Please advise.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. nothing to worry if she has not swallowed the hair conditioner. nothing will happen to the teeth but it can cause some allergic reaction or burns called chemical burns to the mucosa. if she develops any burning sensation consult a oral physician and get her examined once. you can use topical anesthetics and analgesics if she has burning sensation. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
