Should I be using a mouthwash regularly?

While mouthwash should never be a substitute for brushing and flossing your teeth, it does aid in cleaning your mouth. Mouthwash is able to get into the spaces between your teeth and gums, and assist in removing any additional food particles your toothbrush or floss has left behind. It can also assist in strengthening tooth enamel and help kill bacteria that lead to decay and halitosis. Mouthwash with fluoride is especially good for children and those prone to tooth decay. Others can help with dry mouth and other oral conditions. Talk to your hygienist at your next dental checkup to see if mouthwash is something you should add to your oral health routine.
