IS MOUTHWASH NECESSARY??
Usually most of the people brush their teeth on daily basis. But using a toothbrush isn’t enough to maintain a healthy smile. It’s also important to include other habits in your dental routine, such as flossing and mouthwash.
Mouthwash gives your mouth a clean, fresh feeling. It also has benefits for your overall oral health such as reducing the bacteria in your mouth, which in turn reduces the amount of dental plaque that forms. When mouthwash is used in regular interval it may help in reducing the periodontal disease and if the mouthwash contains fluoride, it may reduce the cavity formation also. People who experience bad breath may find mouthwash useful.
Sometimes regular use of certain type of mouthwash for a long period of time may cause staining. So continuous use of mouthwash for a long period of time can be avoided.
How to use a mouthwash??
Use mouthwash by swishing it around in the mouth and gargle with it at the back of the throat. Make sure to cover all the places around your mouth. Spit the mouthwash out. It is best to use mouthwash at the end of your brushing routine.
Mouthwash just provide temporary solution for your problems, it wont provide complete cure. For complete cure consulting your dentist is recommended.
How does a mouthwash work??
Most mouthwashes have alcohol or another ingredient which helps to kill bacteria in your mouth. Some bacteria release sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. Other bacteria combine with the sugary, starchy foods you eat to form a sticky substance called plaque that sticks to your teeth and might make your teeth weak and may lead to tooth decay also.
Using mouthwash at regular interval can help reduce bacteria, so you reduce the chance of developing bad breath or dental problems. Mouthwash alone isn’t enough to keep teeth strong and healthy, but it makes brushing and flossing even more effective.
