mouthwash
Mouthwash is a liquid antiseptic that people use to rinse their mouths for improved oral hygiene. It typically helps reduce plaque, freshens breath, and can fight gum disease and tooth decay. Mouthwash comes in various types, some with fluoride for extra protection against cavities, while others may target specific issues like bad breath or sensitivity. It's often used after brushing and flossing, but is not a substitute for these practices. Regular use, as part of a dental care routine, can contribute to overall oral health and a cleaner, fresher mouth.
