Mouthwash

Mouthwash, also known as oral rinse, is a liquid solution designed to improve oral health and hygiene, targeting issues such as bad breath, plaque buildup, and gum inflammation. It is typically used after or alongside brushing and flossing as a supplementary addition to one's dental care routine. Common ingredients found in mouthwash include antibacterial agents, fluoride, and flavoring agents such as mint to deliver a pleasant taste and aroma. For home usage, mouthwash is available in various formulas catering to specific dental needs such as cavity protection, tartar control, and teeth whitening. Swishing the solution around in the mouth for a recommended duration, usually 30 to 60 seconds, and then spitting it out helps to remove food particles, reduce bacteria, and provide a temporary fresh breath for the user.
