Mouthwash
WRONG! Mouthwashes are effective at masking bad breath and as effective as rinsing with water with regards to removing surface particles. Don't get me wrong, I like to rinse with my favourite minty wash before I head out for the day, but it is no substitute for brushing and flossing. In fact, a mouthwash is most effective right after a good brush and floss as it rinses away anything that was loosened and kills bacteria that still remain behind. If you use mouthwash, try to use it regularly after brushing and flossing to rinse away unwanted particles and bacteria left behind. Make it a habit to get the best dental results! |

Skins, tops and stems often have higher concentrations of nutrients than the fruits or vegetables themselves. Click here to continue reading. |
