Do you have a preferred mouthwash? Regularly rinsing with a proper dose of Listerine, Crest Pro-Health, or some other antiseptic wash is a good way to get better visits at our International District dentistry clinic. The bad news is that, if you favor one and only one kind of rinse, you might not be getting the full effect after a while.
This is according to the findings of a study conducted by Clinical Research Associates. Researchers found that the bacteria inside your mouth will gradually develop a resistance to a mouthwash. You can avoid this by switching to an alternate mouthwash every two or three months. Identify a second product that makes use of a different active ingredient than your primary rinse, and rotate periodically.
