The Importance of Mouthwash

Posted .

Did you know, mouthwash is an important part of keeping your breath fresh and clean? Well, it’s true! Mouthwash is something that is often overlooked and as a result, people have a higher risk for gum disease and bad breath problems. That is why our team here at NR Family Dentistry in Mason, Ohio, is happy to talk to you about the importance of mouthwash and how it can help your smile.

Brushing and flossing do the best job when it comes to caring for your teeth and gums. However, mouthwash kills any bacteria left in your mouth that could be harmful to your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Using an effective mouthwash is vital when it comes to having your oral health in tip-top shape.

While mouthwash should never be used as a substitute to brushing and flossing, it should still be used to keep cavities, bacteria, and plaque at bay. Mouthwash has been proven to be effective when it comes to preventing plaque and cavities, fighting off bacteria and keeping your breath fresh and clean.

Dr. Swapna Nadikuda and the entire team is happy to help you with any of your questions or concerns when it comes to your oral care needs. Part of this assistance is keeping you informed of the best ways to care for your smile, so you can have a fresh and healthy smile each day.
