Although mouthwash should never be a replacement for regular brushing and flossing it helps reduce plaque and other harmful bacteria buildup, especially between the narrow crevices between the teeth. It also temporarily combats bad breath. However, many commercial mouthwashes only mask bad breath. I recommend you either purchase a natural mouthwash product or make your own by using this recipe from my organic living blog listed below. Natural mouthwashes are as effective as commercial ones but without the synthetic ingrediences.
