Do you ever wonder if using mouthwash can really help your oral care? Would a mint be enough to combat your bad breath? If you’ve ever wondered if you should add mouthwash to your oral routine, we’re happy to give you a few answers.
As you’ve probably guessed, mouthwash can do several things for your smile. For instance, some mouthwashes are made to fight against the bacteria that can lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and even gum diseases like gingivitis. In fact, mouthwash can be especially useful for you if you’ve ever been diagnosed with gum disease before.
Mouthwash can also help with bad breath. Of course, many people rely on mints to address bad breath. Unfortunately, mints and other pocket-sized mouth fresheners don’t actually address the root causes of bad breath. Still, using mouthwash will help you fight off bacteria far more effectively than a mint can.
Still, do you ever wonder what kind of mouthwash you should invest in? Honestly, the answer depends on your unique needs. For example, if you’re prone to cavities, get a mouthwash that contains fluoride. Similarly, a mouthwash these with alcohol can help you fight off bad breath.
