Mouthwash

Comments

 
Picture
A flavored, usually antiseptic solution used for cleaning the mouth and freshening the breath. ​Also known as mouth rinse, oral rinse, fluoride rinse or mouth bath, mouth wash contains components such as water, alcohol, cleansing agents, flavoring ingredients and coloring agents. Active ingredients include antimicrobial agents, fluoride, astringent salts serving as temporary deodorizers and
odor neutralizers acting by chemically inactivating odor-causing compounds. Some products are recommended for use after brushing while some are used before brushing. Using it before brushing allows the mouthwash to loosen up the plaque and particles on and in between the teeth so it is more easily removed by brushing the teeth afterwards. Rinses are kept in the mouth for at least 60 seconds after your done brushing your teeth with toothpaste, to kill any remaining germs. They help control bad breath, a buildup of plaque on the teeth, prevent or control tooth decay, and prevent or reduce gingivitis.
