There is no substitute to brushing your teeth, however, a best mouthwash can really help your overall dental hygiene. Mouthwash has been around for almost 2000 years dating back to the days of Hippocrates of the Greco-Roman period to the Aztecs to the invention of chlorhexidine the world’s first anti plaque solution. Since then many companies like Colgate, Scope, and Listerine all have their own patented formula slightly differing from each other. There is no one that is necessarily better than the others it just depends on what you are looking for in your mouthwash.

The purposes for mouthwashes are anti-septic (kills microbes that cause dental disease), anti-inflammation (prevent the buildup of acids and chemicals that can lead to cavities), or cosmetic (can have both anti-septic/inflammatory however mostly used for bad breath).
Other things that mouthwashes can do is the whitening of teeth and reduction of acids that cause bad breath.
For people with sensitive teeth, they may want a mouthwash without harsh agents like alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. For those who have chronic halitosis, they may want an anti-inflammatory or antiseptic mouthwash to ensure a cleaner and less inflamed mouth.
Oral health is paramount for having a good quality of life. Having a nice smile with a pleasant-smelling breath just adds that extra bit of confidence into one’s life. Taking care of your teeth ensures that you have no problems with eating whatever you want at any age. I am not eating only pudding and Jell-O when I am a senior citizen, and I hope neither do you.

What Customers Say: “I really like this product. I have had sensitive teeth for years now, particularly in spots where I've had dental procedures in the past. After complaining about it to several friends, one of them suggested that I try this product since it actively rebuilds the surface of your teeth. I'm always skeptical of claims like that, but after reading a bit about the idea of remineralization I decided to give it a shot. While this stuff isn't cheap, it seemed worth trying. I am very happy that I did so. After using it once a day for three days in a row, the two painful spots on my teeth felt as good as new.”
