Different Types Of Mouthwash Can Help Various Types Of Dental Health

There many types of mouthwashes available in today's market. Every single one claiming to be optimal for perfect dental health. Is that really the case? Here are some things to look for when choosing a mouthwash.

First, you want to check and see if it has alcohol or is alcohol-free. Alcohol dries your mouth and can cause burns to your gums and inside of your cheeks. Alcohol-free is the better option.

Depending on what you and your dentist have come up with for your area of dental focus can sway your decision of what mouthwash to get. It is based on the ingredients in the mouthwash.

Area of Focus:                                          Ingredient:
Better Gum Health                                Cetylpyridinium Chloride
Dry Mouth                                              Biotene
Cavity Protection                                   Sodium Fluoride
Teeth Whitening                                    2% Peroxide

These are just a few examples of ingredients in mouthwash that can help you in whatever area you are wanting to focus on. You, dentist or hygienist, should be able to direct you as to which product they recommend. Always remember that mouthwash is not a replacement for brushing and flossing.
