Adding a mouthwash or rinse to your oral care routine helps to freshen breath and improve the health of your mouth. It’s important to understand what options are available to you and what to consider when choosing a mouthwash or rinse. Here are some factors to take into consideration:

Alcohol – yes or no?

Alcohol is found in many mouthwashes and rinses on the market. If you have young children, teens, or are a recovering alcoholic, you may want to choose an alcohol-free mouthwash product to avoid any problems.

Sensitivity

For those who suffer from tooth sensitivity or are recovering from a dental procedure, you may find the ingredients in mouthwash irritating. Consider trying an alcohol-free mouthwash, which contains ingredients that are soothing and gentle on your teeth and gums.

Plaque Control

Some dental rinses contain anti-plaque ingredients, which not only help control bad breath but also help to prevent plaque build up on the teeth.
