Mouthwash to the rescue?

While it’s not necessary for a healthy mouth, it may be recommended for those with special needs.

Mouthwashes with extra ingredients can make the difference for those who are at risk for tooth decay or dry mouth.

However here are a few things you should know:
• Mouthwashes that contain alcohol can dry and irritate the mouth
• You need to swish a mouthwash for 1 minute so the ingredients can work
• It’s best to use mouthwash before brushing so the fluoride in toothpaste can soak in, or use it when you can’t brush
