Too Many Choices?

 

When you go to the store to purchase mouthwash do you feel like there are too many choices and you are not sure where to even start? With different brands, flavors, and different goals, each one has it’s own unique job when it comes to keeping your smile healthy. Here are 3 tips to choosing the right type of mouthwash,

1. Make sure it has the Dental Association Seal of Acceptance. If it does not have this, you do not want to use this product. It should meet certain guidelines to ensure it meets safety and efficacy standards.
2. You want to understand the goal you have in mind for your smile. There are two types of mouthwashes. One is for therapeutic or cosmetic.
3. If you have a specific dental concern such as bad breath, you might want to consider a therapeutic mouthwash, or if you have plague, gum issues or dry mouth.  

While it can be difficult to find the right mouthwash for you, knowing why you are purchasing it and knowing what dental concerns you have, can ensure you pick the right mouthwash for the purpose at hand.
