This message from Endres Gateway Dentistry in Cincinnati is about mouthwash.
If you’ve ever visited a grocery store dental aisle, you know that there are many different types of mouthwash. Some tout their germ-killing abilities, others emphasize their fluoride content, and some claim to whiten teeth while freshening the breath. These are all great benefits, but will they help meet your oral care needs?
Many people wonder if daily mouthwash should be part of their dental routine. Brushing and flossing are the two important habits that have the most significant influence on dental health, so if you’re doing these two things, is mouthwash necessary?
As long as you follow the instructions on the bottle, mouthwash may slightly benefit dental health. Rinsing with a mouthwash that contains fluoride can’t hurt your teeth, but allowing a bit of diluted toothpaste to stay on tooth surfaces after brushing probably has the same benefit.
