If you need to submit to a cocaine saliva test and you have used cocaine recently then you might want to consider using a detox mouthwash to pass your test.  The metabolites from cocaine can be present in your saliva for up to twenty four hours for a single usage.  The metabolites will be present much longer if you have used a lot of cocaine or if you are a chronic user.  Chronic users of cocaine can have the cocaine metabolites detected in their saliva and urine for as long as five to ten days after usage by an immunoassay test which is much more sensitive than a GC/MS assay test.

The window of detection time varies depending on certain variables like the amount of the drug that was ingested, the frequency of which the drug was ingested, the age of the person, the body mass of the person, their overall health and their metabolic rate.  Saliva testing for cocaine is the least intrusive type of testing and also the quickest.  When the saliva test is administered a swab is taken from the inside of the mouth and results can be obtained almost instantly.  For cocaine the recommended cut off levels are twenty nanograms per milliliter for the initial test and for a follow up confirmatory test it is eight nanograms per milliliter.  Any thing below this level is considered passing.

If you have done cocaine and are required to submit to a saliva test and you don’t think that enough time has passed between the time you took the cocaine and the test time then a detox mouthwash may be of some help.  The detox mouthwash will kill all toxins in your mouth for up to thirty minutes after use provided you use it properly.
