281.225.4966 Although mouthwashes and rinses are not substitutes for brushing, flossing and dental visits, they are a great addition to your regular oral hygiene regimen. If you are thinking about adding mouthwash to your routine, here are some facts about mouthwash to consider:
– Some brands of mouthwash have been proven to be effective in fighting the effects of halitosis, also known as bad breath.
– Never use mouthwash as an alternative to brushing and flossing. However, sometimes mouthwash may work until you get the chance to brush.
– Before using a mouthwash, make sure you understand which benefits you are looking for, and select the appropriate product.
– Speak with your dentist before trying a new mouthwash.
– Use mouthwash products that feature the ADA Seal of Acceptance or have been approved for use by your dentist.
