5 Mouthwashes That Dentists Say Are Actually Effective

Huff Post  

Nothing can replace a dental health routine that makes brushing and flossing a priority. But according to New York City-based dentist Dr. Azadeh Akhavan, most people might not actually need mouthwash since it’s not as effective a way to rid teeth of plaque compared to the act of physical brushing. For instance, she said that “anyone who is especially prone to caries or have dental sensitivity, a fluoride-containing mouthwash can help to strengthen the teeth and prevent cariogenic bacteria from demineralizing the enamel, which is the protective outer coating of the tooth.” Another reason Akhavan shared is dry mouth, which can be caused by certain medications or treatments. But whatever your particular reason for using it, she said mouthwash should be used at the end of your oral hygiene routine. “The fluoride and antimicrobial agents in mouthwash are only effective when they remain on oral surfaces for at least 30 minutes,” she said.
