Revealing the myths, types, and the appropriate times to use mouthwash. Mouthwash has some benefits when used at the proper time. Everyday use of mouthwash is not great for overall oral health. If you use mouthwash regularly it would be a good idea to contact your dentist and find out more information if mouthwash is appropriate to use in your case, and address any problems that mouthwash might be used to cover up.
Key Takeaways:
- If you have been using mouthwash forever, consider using chewing gum instead.
- Stick to using it after meals to wash away food particles and as a quick boost of “freshness” when you’re not able to brush your teeth.
- Don’t use mouthwash when you have just brushed your teeth as you may risk washing away the fluoride from the toothpaste which is the key element in protecting your teeth.
