Important Things to Look for When
Choosing Mouthwash
People often ask their Dental
Care Center dentist which
mouthwashes are the best
for oral health.
When looking for a
mouthwash, the first thing is
to look for an ADA Seal.
The ADA is the American
Dental Association, and you
know your mouthwash will
be effective if it has this seal.
The Dental Care Center does
not recommend using a
mouthwash without this seal
without talking to your dentist
first.
Check to make sure the
mouthwash contains fluoride.
This mineral naturally occurs in
bones and teeth, and is
important for oral health.
Fluoride helps prevent cavities
by strengthening tooth enamel
so that it becomes more
resistant to acids that cause
decay.
Select an antibacterial or
antiseptic mouthwash over
cosmetic versions. Cosmetic
mouthwashes tend to help
freshen your breath, but do not
contain cleaning agents.
Antibacterial and antiseptic
mouthwashes are especially
crucial for patients who are at
risk or have already started
developing gingivitis.
Children under the age of 6
typically should not use
mouthwash, unless directed
by their dentist, and then
under supervision.
Daily mouthwash use keeps
your teeth strong and healthy
and can help towards another
goal like whitening or de-
sensitivity.
