How to Choose the Best Mouthwash

As we all know, or should by now, the key to maintaining great oral health is keeping up with a daily plan of flossing, brushing, and using mouthwash. These three practices in combination will help you avoid tooth decay and keep bacterial infections at bay.

At OK Tooth, we’ve noticed that it’s usually not the toothbrush or floss that people have trouble picking, but the mouthwash.

Depending on the ingredients, different mouthwashes will have different effects on your oral health. Here are some ideas to take under consideration when you’re trying to decide which type of mouthwash will best fit your needs.

Still have questions about mouthwash? Feel free to ask Drs. Marks, Leder, Ghusson, Kudryk, Safin, and Mazlin during your next visit to our New York, NY office! We’re always happy to answer your questions. Happy rinsing!
