Swishing a mouthrinse for 30 seconds after brushing can leave your mouth feeling cleaner than ever. These formulas contain a variety of ingredients — and the one you choose will depend on your unique needs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cosmetic Mouthwashes<\/span><\/h3>\n

One option is what we call a cosmetic mouthwash, or one that helps freshen your breath and may leave your mouth tingling — but that doesn\u2019t actually help to kill bacteria or reduce plaque. Cosmetic mouthwashes are ok, but you should be aware you\u2019re not actually getting any real benefits from their use\u2026 except for maybe a boost of confidence from temporarily fresh breath.<\/span><\/p>\n

Germicidal Mouthwashes<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another common option in mouthwashes today is germicidal, the stuff that actually helps to remove plaque and tartar to prevent decay. These germicidal mouthwashes contain antimicrobial agents, fluoride and odor neutralizers. Used in addition to solid brushing and flossing, a germicidal mouthwash can help to reduce the occurrence of tooth decay and infection. <\/span><\/p>\n
