Which Mouthwash Fits You Best?

In terms of proper dental hygiene, brushing and flossing are simply not enough. Using a mouthwash regularly is just as important and as critical, too.

If you’re still figuring out which mouthwash is the best for you, you should perhaps check first the features of each.

Here are the different kinds of mouthwash of how they can benefit you:

  1. Prescription Mouthwash – A prescription mouthwash from a dentist is common if you are suffering from gingivitis. Some mouthwashes target the germs that cause gingivitis. However, you still have to be careful as some mouthwashes cause tooth staining. That’s why it is important for your dentist to strictly monitor the mouthwash that you will be using.
  2. Anti-Bacterial Mouthwash – The main purpose of anti-bacterial mouthwashes is to significantly reduce the bacteria in a person’s mouth. 75% of bacteria can be killed with the use of menthol and alcohol that kills and burns the bacteria.

If you don’t have other dental and oral problems, you can use this mouthwash as it likewise presents key benefits to your mouth. Rinsing for the right amount of time indicated in the bottle is critical in the mouthwash’s usage.

  1. Fluoride Rinse – If you’re looking to prevent cavities and strengthen your teeth, using a fluoride rinse is usually recommended. Since many fluoride rinses are mint-flavored, they can significantly help in freshening your breath.

By remineralizing teeth and protecting enamel, fluoride has long been proven to prevent tooth decay.

So before grabbing a mouthwash to use, make sure you first analyze what you need most and of course, consult with a dentist.
