Mouthwash

Mouthwash is Essential to Your Oral Health

June 21, 2018 Oral Hygiene - New York Offices - County Dental Group

Have you ever wondered why using mouthwash is essential to good oral hygiene?

Using mouthwash is important in maintaining your overall oral health because it helps reduce plaque and can remove remaining food particles that brushing and flossing can sometimes miss.

Here are some thoughts to consider from County Dental to help you choose the right mouthwash for you.

1. How long are you rinsing? Each mouthwash label may say something different, but a mouthwash that recommends rinsing for at least 30 to 60 seconds before spitting it out is typically a good option.

2. What about mouthwash for my kids? You may see kid-friendly images on a mouthwash bottle and wonder if the time is now for your kid to use mouthwash. Dentists recommend waiting until the age of six to start using mouthwash. Check the label and be sure the mouthwash you choose offers specific precautions, instructions and age recommendations for their product.

3. What are the benefits of using mouthwash? Mouthwashes that advertise that they freshen breath by killing bacteria, prevents plaque build-up, removes particles, and reduces cavities are typically a good mouthwash option to consider.

4. Choosing mouthwash: A mouthwash will freshen your breath while a rinse will protect your teeth from acid. A mouthwash or a fluoride mouth rinse should be used after you finish your brushing and flossing routine.

5. Do you have more questions? Contact County Dental or speak to your hygienist and dentist during your next visit.
