Mouthwash

Your dentist may recommend that you use a mouthwash or rinse after you've brushed your teeth. Using a mouthwash can help get rid of the last bits of bacteria or leftover food that you might have missed with your toothbrush, especially in the hard-to-reach areas.

There are plenty of mouthwashes on the market, but you may need to read the labels as some mouthwashes contain alcohol - which can be of concern to some individuals. If you are in doubt, ask your pharmacist to recommend an alcohol-free one.
