Using a mouth rinse or mouthwash daily will help you avoid issues with bad breath, plaque buildup on teeth, and gum inflammation, which can lead to sensitivity or pain. Mouthwashes assist with killing the bacteria that can lead to gum disease, plaque buildup, and halitosis. Your dentist can recommend a mouth rinse for your specific dental needs, as well as how often you should use it.
