Why use a mouthwash?

Why use a mouthwash?

Mouthwash is an excellent complement to the daily oral hygiene routine. Its use does not mean that brushing is no longer necessary; even if it helps to remove plaque, mouthwash does not replace the benefits of the mechanical action of the toothbrush.

The daily use of mouthwash is used to eliminate more bacteria responsible for plaque formation, particularly by reaching the deeper layers of the plaque. The daily removal of plaque (also called biofilm) also prevents the development of gum disease, the first stage of which is gingivitis (a generally benign inflammation of the gums, but which can quickly turn into a more serious condition). Moreover, mouthwash helps to prevent the formation of dental caries.

How to choose your mouthwash?

How to choose your mouthwash?

There are different types of mouthwashes.

  • Fluorine-containing mouthwashes help prevent tooth decay by protecting teeth from the acids produced by plaque;
  • Antiseptic mouthwashes help to reduce inflammation symptoms, such as those caused by gingivitis;
  • Alcohol-free mouthwashes are ideal for frequent use. Gentle, they are just as effective and do not dry out the mucous membranes.

However, the use of mouthwashes is not recommended for children under 6 or even under 12 years of age, depending on the type of mouthwash. Finally, it is important to choose a mouthwash approved by a recognized dental association.

For more information, consult your dentist or dental hygienist for advice.

The use of dental floss

The use of dental floss

Flossing is essential for maintaining good oral health. Also, contrary to common practice, flossing should be done before brushing. Indeed, food particles removed with silk can then be removed from the mouth during brushing.

Flossing makes it possible to reach and clean hard-to-reach areas, including the space between the teeth and the space near the tooth and gums.

When used daily, flossing helps prevent conditions caused by the accumulation of plaque, including gingivitis and tooth decay.
