Mouthwashes aren’t one-size-fits-all. Each type serves a specific purpose:
Fluoride: Helps prevent cavities
Chlorhexidine: For gum disease or ulcers
Betadine: Ideal after dental surgeries
Anesthetic types: Soothe mouth sores and ulcers
Avoid using mouthwash right after brushing as it can cause staining.
Mouthwash isn’t meant for daily use unless prescribed. Use it only when needed.
Always check the label for directions, some need to be diluted.
Not safe for children under 6 years.
Best tip? Consult your dentist before adding it to your routine!
