Choose a mouthwash that suits you
Choose a mouthwash that suits you. Sufferers of chronic halitosis (bad breath) can benefit hugely from using a particular type of mouthwash, which breaks down the odour-causing bacteria in the mouth, killing them off rather than simply masking them. Some patients benefit from using fluoride mouthwashes, which offer greater protection against tooth decay and help to strengthen the hard outer coating (enamel) on your teeth. Gum infections can be painful and can cause swollen or bleeding gums, which makes it difficult to clean around the affected area. In these cases we will suggest using an antibacterial mouthwash containing chlorhexidine. We can also suggest mouthwashes to help alleviate soreness in the mouth, promote healing, and to help reduce tooth sensitivity. If you need to use a mouthwash, we will always advise you of this and will also suggest which type to use.
