Superstar Smile Makers: Mouthwash

Posted .

Are you familiar with the benefits that mouthwash products can provide for your oral health care? Mouthwash can not only help freshen your breath but, in some cases, can even help reduce the rate at which several oral health risks can occur. Mouthwash products come in a variety of styles and the accompanying benefits, so it is important to make sure that you’re using one that suits your oral health care needs.

Products can provide many benefits if you know which products to use. Everything from teeth whiteners and plaque removal to reductions in your risk for gingivitis, cavities and bad breath can all be accomplished through the use of mouthwash. However, there are two major types of mouthwash you need to be aware of, known as cosmetic mouthwash and therapeutic mouthwash. Whereas cosmetic mouthwash is used to help whiten teeth or mask bad breath, therapeutic mouthwash is designed to provide oral health care by targeting bacteria in your mouth that produce several negative effects. If you are looking to reduce gingivitis and target plaque that damages your gums and tooth enamel, therapeutic mouthwash is your best option.
