Although brushing teeth daily and flossing in combination with regular check-ups at the dentist are the most important factors in maintaining good dental health using a mouthwash can also be of benefit.

Over-the-counter mouthwashes are alcohol or fluoride based and both can:
- Help fight gum disease and tooth decay
- Temporarily alleviate bad breath
- Clean crevices between the teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach

Mouthwash should be used as part of your oral care routine but not as a replacement for brushing and flossing. Which type of mouthwash is best for your particular requirements should be discussed with your dentist and you can read more on this topic at https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/mouth-wash-is-it-really-necessary/
